Well last night I was unable to get any hands in. I was disappointed but I didn't get back to the room until around 9pm and had to get in my Big Brother then sleep for this morning. C'est la vie. I am ok with it though, I felt last night like I could just play a lil while but I considered what would I have to gain by playing out of my environment and rushed for time. In the end I decided as much as I wanted to play that in all honesty, I'd probably be doing nothing to improve my game, my bankroll, or my learning. Besides... Big brother was on! LOLz...

Brings me to honesty in poker though. This is something that is so fricking hard for me as a player to come to. I feel that in order to be a successful player you do not necessarily have to be honest with yourself but you have to be a lucksack. I think in the short term you can have extremely grand results and tell yourself you rock, yer the best, noone can defeat you. But if you're honest with yourself you'll say wow, that was fun, I was extremely lucky, I made some shitty decisions which paid off and a few great decisions which paid off, and a few great decisions which lost me money. Honesty...

Honesty is saying, I see results but perhaps I am not the greatest player here. Honesty is saying damn, that donkey running 56/35 may in fact be the better player between us. Perhaps he's been getting mad cards and simply knows how to play me. Honesty is diggin in, plugging leaks, learning your game and the realization that you can always improve upon it. Honesty is not cutting down someones play at first or even second and third glance but discovering the motivation behind the players moves and finding a new way in which you may improve your game. Honesty is simply taking the game for what it is and saving the bitching and whining for places other then the place where you come to learn your shortcomings and educate yourself how to make money. Honestly we could go on forever finding ways to become more honest with ourselves.

Honestly, are you honest with yourself?

Take care!
