Day 169 ... Back in the zone - hopefully ...

HoldemPoker $ 135.18

Didn't play much today but feeling alot more comfortable - yes I've got my patience back. Let's hope I can finally get my bad play under control as this is clearly where I've been loosing money playing when I'm not feeling 100% or in the mood. I think 90% of poker is more about trying not to lose than trying to win.

Poker tip of the day ... Fold, fold and fold again.
Solid starting hand selection is where you minimise your losses and maximise your wins - long term this is more important and effective than getting a few short term lucky wins
