Braindead

Some terrible poker playing going on here. Just going braindead. Cards have been there, but my head hasn't. My BR is the lowest it's been in some time, but nothing I can't handle. I'm thinking of dropping to the $2 tables - as if I could become more nitty.

Every time I go on a bad streak like this, I think the game has changed. I get paranoid about how other players perceive me and just generally think people are pushing me around every time they raise, without thinking about what's most obvious, which usually is - I'm beat. I don't really adjust my game much when I go on one of my winning streaks either. Literally winning a coinflip here and there would have a major effect on what's happeneing now.

I should have cashed in the turbo $1 yesterday. I was like top 20 in chips with about 100 left. Had KK, raised, one caller - the only guy who had me covered at the table. Flop is A-high all clubs. I have one club. For some reason, I thought moving all in would be the right play. I thought I could get a weak A to fold, and had re-draws in case he calls. He called with A6, no clubs, which I thought was a little weird, and I didn't get there. Oh well.
