Nights where nothing seems to go our way. Nights where you can't buy a hand. But you nailed it... The best players play consistently no matter what happens on any given night. If you let that stuff get inside your head, you are a sitting duck. You may have lost the battle, but you are winning the war. Poker is about the long-haul. Players who try to "stick and move" will get killed in the long run. -Zengy Dude-
