A little break is a good thing. Amazing and instantaneous solutions to problems happen after a rest. Today, dizzy with eyestrain and mental fatique from doing studies of unsuited high cards, the King took another rest with his head spinning with figures. After the rest, he immediately adjusted the slider, that enlarges the page, and the studying went at a fast speed and accurate too. Even earlier, with a new stragtegy sheet format, and departing from the Mathew Hilger table form, his eyes were fatigued from the looking at so many numbers. Reeling, like a drunk, he took a resltess break, came back to his studies and immediately, without thought, shortened the figures displayed from 99, 88, 77 to 99-77 and applied it to other situations. Looking at the numbers immediately got easier.
Studying for two hours was tiring, much more tiring than playing. Playing games is not tiring but stressfull on the nerves when loose players, playing junk hands, take their turns and win pot after pot. Today's second session was after studying and started with a gradual loss of the King's buy-in, not much but he hung on and tried not to go on tilt. The game offerings at that time of the day were good and the nickels and dimes tables were good enough that he played two hours there. In the end he won two big pots and came in the positive. The pot that put him in the positive had him with pocket queens and the flop had a king and a queen. A set is a powerfull hand that has many outs to turn into a full house. The king on board was worrisome and the player to his left bet and raised on the flop, turn and river, so he could have had pocket kings and a set also. He didn't have pocket kings, and the King won a big pot and cashed out.
