I’ve figured it out, why I’m losing sleep

So I’m playing a cash game yesterday and sweating my guy as he’s playing the daily tourney at the Venetian.  (btw, he final tabled and cashed in a nice way which made me a happy girl) I wanted to play the tourney but wasn’t really feeling it so I’m over playing some cash….

Long story short, a few ladies were at my table and were informing all of us as to how good they were as their rebuys totalled 1k. One lady is bragging about who she knows in the LIPS Tour and how she plays all these big ladies tourneys. Little does she know, I know her, her style of play, and know she’s a straight up donkey. Sorry for the harsh words but it’s true.  I laugh as she’s trying to make herself look important. lol I’m not upset she’s at my table cuz she’s paid me off quite nicely 3 or 4 times. The other lady who is into the table for about 400, is a calling station. Again, love that she’s at the table as I’ve gotten paid a few times from her and her crappy play. ( I want to make clear, there was 3rd lady who came to the table late who is also a Lips player who is very good and I respected her play 100%)

Here’s my frustration as it’s others’ too I’m sure… Why in the world do you think you’re so damn good when you’re rebuying 4 or even 6 times? They are donking off their money and the one or two times you get lucky you think you’re freaking brilliant??? It’s just mind boggling to me and it doesn’t help when you crack my Aces twice either. lol 

When I actually take the time to sit down and concentrate on the game, I usually go pretty deep if not take down the damn thing. Since I’ve moved to LV in Dec, I’ve won over a dozen daily tourneys. I’ve managed to make my mark in a small way here and have a reputation for not being somone you want to tangle with. I can change up my game, adjust to my players’ styles and get you to give me your chips and you won’t even feel the pain until it’s too late. I pride myself on being successful in everything I’ve done. I’m an accomplished educated professional woman. This damn game is going to drive me batty I swear!!! The X factor of luck which I try to reduce as much as I can and the ignorance of other players as well as  their dumb luck is what drives me to drink dammint! lol

I think when I become frustrated and lose a little sleep it drives me to get better and more successful. I gain more focus and study even harder. Finally it’s starting to pay off and my results are becoming more consistent.  Now I’m not so upset about the growing pains of my game. It simply shows me I’m learning and getting better. I’m all about the path I’m on and growing. This is all part of the greater plan for my life and I’m taking it all in… even the lack of sleep every now and then.

I’ll see you at the tables and don’t be mad when I take your chips.  Don’t say I didn’t warn ya!
