Now a step back lol

Bad session of oe the other day. What sucks about the session I was up $200 in the first hour. Usually I walk away with such a big win but I wanted to play two hours and then reevaluate. I always give it two hours then determine my exit strategy for the session. By the time my two hours were up, I was down $50. Then I played several more hours and wound up losing $300 for the session. To quote Charlie Brown, "good grief." Lol it sucks because I always advocate to people and to myself to "book wins." I got a little greedy and lost out on a nice junk. I think the lesson learned is to remove the two hour evaluation period. I will start the sessions as if I have already been there for the two hours. This will ensure I have greater flexibility at the table and increased profitability. Adjustments are important. You cannot remain rigs in your approach to things. I see that my previous thinking was flawed so I am changing it. Looking back in my stats, some of my biggest losses came during a session where I was initially up. Hopefully this change will help me get back on the right track and turn the year around. On a side note, I am taking a break from cash games for the next two weeks to focus on the Philly Poker Open. I will be playing several tournaments and I have a good feeling. My schedule is as follows:
Saturday: $200 nlhe 40k guaranteed (day 2 Sunday)
Saturday: $225 nlhe survivor bounty ($1000)
Wednesday: $100 PLO
Wednesday: $75 nlhe survivor ($500)
Next Saturday: $250 nlhe 50k guaranteed (day 2 Sunday)

Total buyins: $850
Total profit:????

Excited about playing some tourneys. It's been awhile since I played real important tournament poker but I feel good. Only time will tell. In my next posts, I will break down each tourney and the result. Until next time, good luck and see you on the felt.
