Another Quickie

Another blitz session today, less than two hours of play. Made $330. Then I looked around the table and realized the only ones left were tight-aggressives and short stacked tight-passives so I racked up.

But I can't help being suspicious of my motives. One of my biggest leaks has been that I've been too quick to take small and medium sized wins. Phil Ivey says when you're losing you need to go home, but when you're winning you need to stay forever and beat the game. If I had better discipline about staying in good games when I'm winning, I'd be playing $2-5 nl or higher as my regular game.

I've heard that some taxi drivers will continue to work each day until they earn their "goal", which is a fixed amount. This is actually a very poor way to approach the job, as it means they will quit early on busy days, and work late on days when it is hard to find a fare. The opposite would actually make more money. This goes to the point that people desire a "win" and this can lead to irrational choices.
