long session planned, short session played

had plans of putting in a good long session last nite.

it started well until i took a quick break and then went on uber life tilt. (couldn't find the remote, phone kept ringing...aaaaarrrrrrghhhhh) so i decided not to play anymore for the night since i wasn't in the right frame of mind and watched some poker after dark instead since negreanu was on.

i was hoping to get 800 hands in but only got 370. i finished up over 1.5 buy-ins which is good but it mostly all came from one hand. i was also having some internet issues which may have been the beginning to my life tilt episode since i was getting 3-bet and check raised liberally by this one aggressive player to my left. i finally pick up AAxx on the button to his sb, raise and ................................... watched those full tilt cards do the wave while i tried to reconnect.

a couple hands from last night. i tightened up a little last night since i've noticed that i have been giving a little too much credit to some poor holdings.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1529338 - stab the flop to see if im good. they both play their hands like draws or two pairs so i fire again. on the river i just want to show it down.

i'm working harder at concentrating on every post flop decision. i often times drift into auto-pilot 15-20 mins into a session and start hitting bet/call/fold buttons as fast as i can. i don't have near the skill or the experience to play like that in a game like plo so i'm trying to slow everything down and am taking advantage of the time bank a lot more. this has been a fault of mine way back to my limit holdem days so it's a hard habit to break.
