Overcome with Insomnia + Coming Clean

0

I haven't been sleeping well this past week and I'm not sure why. Currently, my brain is moving a million miles an hour and I can't seem to slow it down enough to fall asleep. My eyelids are heavy and I feel tired, but I find myself lying in bed with my eyes closed for hours on end lately. Generic sleeping pills haven't helped much either, it's weird.

Couple this with the fact that I've been sick (and essentially bed-ridden) since Sunday, and it's hard to imagine a life much more boring than mine right now. Today was the first day since the weekend that I felt healthy enough to play a session, and it went pretty well. I'm still utterly destroying 2/4PLO -- I'd be shocked if I wasn't the biggest winner in these games -- and my shots higher have been successful recently too.

I just realized that I never blogged about my disastrous meltdown day earlier this month where I tilted like crazy after losing my first $20k from playing well. I then proceeded to add insult to injury by dropping ~$42k on the day. I need accountability to someone/something for my days like these (remember that #1 new year's resolution Thomas?!?!?!), and it's gonna be to this blog. I hereby pledge to post the good AND the bad to this blog as soon as possible from now on. So without further ado, here was my meltdown day on Feb 3rd:
I'm an idiot


Like I said, I was playing really well until about the 2k hands mark; pretty sure that's when I lost AAKK(1s) to AAKQ allin for ~$8k on a T63r flop, which sparked major tilt spewage. :(

But on the bright side, I utterly own the games I'm playing and am now only -$18k on the month! My goal is to break into the green for Feb. Today's graph:
Much better

I swear, I'd be sick rich if I didn't go nuts and tilt off so much of my winnings once a month. I'm really working hard on this guys, I really am. Ok time to go try for some sleep again.
