I should have stayed in bed today. Started coming down with a cold on Sunday, but still managed to win $450 that night. That put my BR up to around $1500. Got up this morning (Monday) and felt even worse, so I slept in and started playing at noon.
Got the first base spot on what I have determined to be the best table in town and went to work. But it was a slow and steady drain until I was down $500. Came back to -$100 and had hopes of getting back to even. Then we went back down again. End result is that my BR is now $650. I actually started with $400 when I drove out here, since I had put a c-note in reserve. But after 6 nights here in casino-land, I have covered all my expenses and cleared a whopping $250.
This was the longest I have sat at one table and I probably should have stuck with my hit and run tactics since it was working well. But this drawdown was bound to happen sooner or later and how I deal with it mentally will determine whether or not I have any chance to succeed at this. So I’m trying to think positively and work on my money management. But I still believe in myself and as long as there is hope and possibility, I will continue on.
