DON'T PLAY TIRED!

Yes, that's exactly what you are reading. But pay real good attention because I have lost a lot of money trying to play through tiredness. I have read in a lot of places, my friends always tell me, but I am stubborn. So, I paid a big price for it.

Last night after my brag post (4:10am Brazilian time), I decided to grind a for another hour. What could be worse? The funny thing is I managed to stay focus for the first hour. I was about even given that I had 1 flip not go my way, and another hand where I 3barrel a calling station and he spiked a 3-outer on the river (he flat called the river making 2-pair). Right after that, I ran a bluff that got called. Then I lost with overpair to a set.

Oh well, I had lost 2 buyins, go to sleep you are tired. No, let's try to win it back. Before you know it I spewed another 3 buyins.

I am sick to my stomach and very upset with myself.

Don't play tired! I am not today because I had to wake up early to check out an apartment. I just got back about an hour ago so I am very tired. I am planning on moving to a nice neighborhood in Rio (Barra) near the beach. Actually I have to cross a lake with a miniboat provided by the condominium complex and voilá I am at the beach. It is a really nice complex with a club that has a gym, poo, soccer field, tennis/basketball/volleyball courts and other cool stuff. I have to figure out how I am going to fit all my stuff into the apartment (I live in a 3-bedroom and will move into a 2-bedroom), but I think it will work out. I have plans to move by March 1st. By the way, I get all of this for less than what I am paying now. Go figure!

I am going to watch 007 Quantum of Solace with my girlfirend and then I will try to fall asleep.
