Padding my loss portfolio

I take pride in my colossal losses as well as in my colossal gains. Why? For the simple reason that the more losses I'm able to sustain without going broke, the more I prove that I'm a resilient player and will always bounce back. Last night, my blue distance broke the 70 million play dollar barrier for the very first time, and I'm still alive and kicking. What, me worry? :-)

Padding my loss portfolio

My very worst style and flavor combo is MTT-B NLHE. It's the only one in which I've lost over a million play dollars. Logic says I should never play it again, and yet I played it again last night. Why? Because I was impatient. When I logged on to PokerStars, an MTT NLHE had just started, and I knew I didn't want to wait 40 minutes or so to join it. The MTT-B NLHE on offer only had 5 minutes remaining in its late registration period, so I jumped on it. Result? I increased my career loss in MTT-B NLHEs by $100,000. I'll try to be more patient in future.
