A win by any other name

A win is a win...Mostly.

OK, I kept my streak going. I posted a win yesterday. My 4th in a row! That's the good news. But, the win was only $1. Below my goal. I fell early, losing $32 in RAZZ. I spent the rest of the day clawing back. Lots of hit and runs. I would make $5 and then leave for a different table. Worked out fine. I even was up $12 at one point, but lost the $11 chasing the FT point goal of 100 points.

So, good money management (I left that table where the cards were not falling well without putting more than $35 into that game). Way back in my 1st money management post, I made a commitment not to dump more than 10% of my bankroll into one game. I was losing, I sucked it up and walked away. I then started hit and run play. Makes me look bad, but it did reestablish my roll.

I was happy with my play, even at the $32 down table. The cards just were not folding, and my table image was one of panicking player. Every pot I entered, I was being called down and out drawn.

So, a winning day, a below goal day, but rules of money management agreed, saved my day. All in all, a winning day.
