Today, I played poker for about four hours. I started with $200 and ended up with $1000, cashing out $800. I kept $200 to play blackjack on my way out. Unfortunately, I lost six hands in a row and $600. So, instead of being up $800, I only doubled my initial buy-in. I don't even like blackjack...
It seems like you're playing at a higher level than you're comfortable with. Try to think of it this way: It's not about money, it's about chips. Chips are just tools in the game of poker. Don't get too attached to them emotionally. Hope that helps.
Hey, tighten up your game a bit, but not too much. Still, play hands like Jack-Ten suited or better to see the flop. And when you hit a top pair, top kicker or better, be ready to get aggressive, whether it's betting big or going all-in
