Moving up the levels

It has always been part of my masterplan to move up the levels, I’d like it if my hobby earned me enough to pay for a holiday once a year, who wouldn’t?

 So last Friday I decided to take a shot at 100NL, my bankroll is a little light for this jump, but I figured if I allow myself a stop loss of four buy-ins it would be fine.  So on Friday night after getting junior to bed and eating some food I settled down for my shot at glory. I had this uncomfortable feeling in my stomach, and I felt a little clammy, best not to play if I am under the weather, so I put the laptop down, “I’ll play tomorrow” I said to myself.

Saturday I was really busy, all day and all evening, I just kept finding things to do. My laptop was glaring at me, it could feel my discomfort, and I could feel its beady little LEDs boring a hole in the back of my head. Somehow I kept finding things that stopped me logging on.

I arose early on Sunday, surely I could steal a few hours and get this show on the road. I settled down with a coffee and wouldn’t you know it, from upstairs rang  the shout  “Daddy, Daddy, I’m awake!" That put the kibosh on that then.

It all became clear to me as I was heading home from work on Monday. I keep finding excuses to not play.

I think I might be a bit scared.

In fact I’m sure of it.

 I’ll keep you posted.

Don´t play the level where you don´t feel comfortable.
Poker should be always fun and it´s not good if it feels like job. For some it is job but even then in my opinnion it should not feel like it.
Hobby for you makes no sense to play under pressure without the joy of the game no matter what the level is.

If your scared of playing that level don't play it...If you do you will probably find that feeling will stop you from playing your normal game and you will be prone to mistakes...
