SADLOP

Last night, my return to cash games wasn't enough to pull me out of my slump. I actually played quite well, until I succumbed to a SADLOP -  a sudden and dramatic loss of patience. I had no forewarning this was to occur, so I would classify SADLOPs as a subspecies of the imp of the perverse. A good way to remember the acronym is that it's very SAD when a huge chunk gets LOPped off the top of your stack :-) In this case, it was the whole stack. I actually have a pretty good idea why this occurred - I was up against a donk, and thought he was bluffing. It's never a good idea to stake your whole stack on a bluff read.
