Friday night misery

[6ooner]

OK, here's an observation I've recently made, I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem. I've jut gone through a period of mixed fortune and it seems to be turning around. There was a point where it got so bad that I was seriously worried about playing AA because I knew it'd get cracked. Bad luck is one thing but I can't believe the length of the run I had. What's finally hit me is that I've been doing well in the week and badly at weekends, I'm still up overall but I've taken some serious knocks. What I've realised is that it's all down to Friday nights. For some reason it appears that Fridays attract a lot of inexperienced 'muppets'. MTTs I have no probem with but STTs and cash games I just can't win a hand. The knock on effect of this is that I get stressed and it completely buggers up my weekend to the point of going to bed straight after the champs league on Sunday vowing never to play again. I noticed last night that nearly everyone I was playing against would hold out with A rag or a low made pair so that whatever I played unless I had the nuts I'd be up against three players holding out with an ace or chasing straights or flushes no matter what I bet. I didn't play badly, I examined my hands and in most cases I'd have played them the same way, in some cases I'd have played stonger on a normal tables but I could see where I was actually playing tighter because of the way things were going. I don't know why Fridays are different as I start playing around 5pm UK time and it's happening then- maybe everyones been to the pub for lunch? MTTs are unnaffected but STTs and ring games are appalling. I generally walk away when I start getting angry but not ralising why makes my game deteriorate over the weekend. I feel much better today about playing because I now understand why my luck appears to be so bad- I can't play any differently because I'd be dropping to their level but I can stay away from the game that give me the problem. Has anyone else noticed this?:unsure

Re: Friday night misery I find I win good money on Friday evenings especially after the pub closes. ;)
