More Pink Talk and Strategy

I bought into the pink game last night for a rack and a stack last night and managed to work my way up to two racks and a stack before I self-destructed a bit. What I am saying is I left the game down 119 bones for 8 hours of play after being up. So what happened is the normal for me and that is I take a bad beat and fly open a little too much and give money back on hands that I should fold. I really try to stay away from tilting because it is such a horrible thing for me to do. I expect bad beats in the pink game and should not get overly frustrated when it happens. It is limit poker and that is the way it goes. Get your money in there wiht the best of it and protect when you don't have anything going. But, I got a little shaky after that hand and played a few stupid hands and dumped all my winnings and a few dollars back. I guess I should be glad I did not dump it all, but I realized what I was doing and tightened up. Also, it never fails after taking a bad beat, the cold deck hits me right in the face for the rest of the night. I know I would have liked to stay longer because limit is such a fuckin' grind you have to sit there for 20 hours to make a nice profit. I still love it though but just wish I did not make the few mistakes that cost me a winning night. I need to stop playing hands that can't turn a win in limit. Let's face it, in Omaha 8, 789 are killers, as is hands that don't have all 4 cards working together. Yet, I play them anyway when I get frustrated. and I watch my money get scattered around the table. So next week, i will try to stay away from falling off the cliff after a bad beat or even a bad call and then see what happens.
