Playing Drunk

I had a moment of clear stupidity. I played drunk and lost around $800 on Friday night. It all started off innocently enough having a couple of drinks with dinner, and playing a couple of SNG's. Up in fact. Then I decided to play some NL50 HU, lost a bit of it back, then decided while still in profit to go to my other site and have some fun playing 30/25 style on 6 max. Only I ended up playing 40/35!!! Still I ended up tilting half the table, and came out a small winner with some big pots. So I moved up to NL100. This is where it got ugly. I was pushing around perfectly, then started getting struck hard by big hands turning into losers. I was probably being a little too liberal with my definition of a strong hand, but had JJ less than QQ, AQ less than AK twice on an ace high board, and had a set go down to a rivered straight, plus a couple of other pots where I was bluffing people off pots and got shoved on (that happens while playing 40/35 I noticed). I wasn't actually that upset with how I played, just my game selection and inability to quit. I then went back to FTP to try to get some back on SNG's and got that account down a bit, and came back to OnGame to donk off another 120 to HU cash. Poor, poor form.

I woke up a little liberated though. I thought I'd be over everything, but I was happy and had a really good (poker free) Saturday. I'm glad dusting off this much money doesn't necessarily hurt me mentally as much as it used to.
