sloppy playing

I played for about 6 hours tonight. I haven't slept in over 24 hours. Bad idea. I managed to make $70 tonight. I should have made more but I made a ton of mistakes. I was drawing to gutshot straight draws without correct odds. I was doing all kinds of dumb things. I think I need a break. I need a day off. Hell, I've already made more in the 2 weeks of poker play than I did at my old job for a whole month anyway. I think I can afford a day off. I think I might just play a freeroll or maybe a $5 SNG. Something cheap and just for fun. I can barely see the screen right now. I'm just glad today was profitable. I was getting horrible cards for the entire night it seemed. 2 guys runner runner flushed me tonight on 2 different sites. I lost about $20 on one of them because his miracle flush card made me top 2 pair and I just didn't believe he hit runner runner flush so I called his all-in on the river.
I just have to take a moment and let some of you poker players know how much bluffing is going on in small stakes NL games. Geez. Unbelievable and the last 20 minutes of my play made me realize just how much I might be being bluffed. I took a guy's complete stack from 2 different plays in which I believe he bluffed me on both of them. I'm not usually interested in calling bluffs or challenging someone but I was only up $30 for the night and a little pissed and so I called a huge raise with A T o with only 5 players at the table. I hit a flush but I still feel my pair of aces on the flop was good. I saw one guy who bet huge on me on the river lose his whole stack on another table probably because he tried the same thing. If it wasn't for the scarey board, A Q T , I would have called him. I think I've been a little too conservative in my play. A little too worried about my bankroll. My bankroll is now at its peak point , don't get me wrong but it could be bigger if I had a little more guts in some situations. Tomorrow, I might be just playing freerolls and having fun.

Oh yeah, funny guy today. I was at 2 or 3 different tables tonight and this little guy kept buying for $4 on a $50 max buy-in table. It was just funny to me. He would call a $2 raise and be left with $2 in his stack. It was awfully funny and he had a funny name to go with it.
