Loosey, I'm home!

So it's almost midnite and I've just started a 18 man Sit-n-go. I've already busted out of two SNGs tonite, playing far too loose. The most frustrating part is that I know exactly what I'm doing wrong and I'm still doing it. I made the final table twice last week in 180 man SNGs, so my bankroll had a substantial boost. Ever since, I have been fighting the urge to want to push with questionable (or worse) hands. Is it greed? Maybe. Could it be that I've tasted sucess and I want even more faster than it's supposed to come my way. Probably. Either way, I know that I'm playing a style that isn't me....so why I am struggling to fix it?

One bright side is that I honestly cannot blame the cards, the programmers or even luck. All of those are things I can't control. My play is something I can control. So now that I've put it in writing, I have to put it into practice. As of this moment there are 16 players left of the 18 that started. There have been 14 hands dealt and I have played only one (A9 from the BB) and took down a minimal pot after flopping a set and not getting any fish to bite.

Here's to hoping that I've left my bad habits here in this post and I'll get back to playing my game. Wish me luck.
