Wednesday night, I lost a ton of chips. $80K worth, to be precise. The maximum starting stake at two consecutive tables. Both hands that I rode to the felt, I had no business going all in on. What's more, I knew as I was going all in that I had no business doing it -- both times. Edgar Allan Poe called such behavior "the imp of the perverse".
This is an excerpt from my April 1, 2011 post. In yesterday's session, the imp struck again. In shouting distance of the money bubble, I hit the rail on a hand where I went all in after flopping top pair with a good kicker. The problem with my hand was that my top pair was pitiful - sixes. I should have folded that hand every day of the week and twice on Sundays :-)
