I really need one.  I played good TAG poker while studying the tables, no big hands got paid off, so I opened up a bit too much.  That's about where I lost a decent amount when I can't win much playing by sklansky's book and can't make a hand playing the maniac, thus the semi-bluffs get called and I don't improve.  I do sometimes forget that if the game is deep enough someone may call a 3 bet with a suited 5-4 even without a decent size pot.  Then I had the idea that I'll just cash in another $30+3 MTT to recoup my losses, well easier said than done.  I've had a few decent wins at MTT's but still the stars have to line up just right to get to the final table.  So no cash and the feeling of a rock in my stomach.  I've now got the bottle opened and "Winners And Losers" - Social Distortion on repeat.  The dog just squeezed out a turd on the carpet...FML.

So yeah, break time.  I did pick up Jim McManus's book positively fifth street.  He seemed like a nice enough guy, not sure why he was playing .25/.50 & .10/.25 PLO a few weeks back but I thought I'd give it a read.
