I played in a great tournament last night...well I entered into a great tournament last night. I don't know what the word for my brain dead play was -I Dunno - Let's call it chicken.
Not only did I play terrible, I made excuses for my moronic preflop fold with AK suited and my idiotic fold to a flopped Jack ragged board with a suited AJ hand....on the button no less. I didn't even raise it preflop...Doh!
Ive been off my game on occasion...so I thought until now.
Last night I wasn't off my game, I was off my rocker.
Explain it? Let me try. Was it my FREE entry fee? No, I don't think so. Was it because I sat with players that I wasn't familiar with? Perhaps. Was I scared. Yes, like a 15 year old on her first date.
Why? What was I scared of ? I just don't know.... I balked, I just balked.
Balk balk balk like a chicken...early tourney, cards coming and I balked. Later on, great cards... balked...
How am I going to fix it?
Next time I play like this, I am going to get up from the table, flip my hands under my armpits and walk around the room 'strutin and 'balkin like a chicken...
It might be worth your while to be there.
Balk.. balk.... balk....
