Moving up just for online points...mistake.

First let me say, that I was knocked out of the PokerSavvy tourney, when I had ladies. I tried just to take the blinds, but some lamer made two pair with garbage...and well the rest is history. This wasn't the hand that did it, but it might has well have been. I was immediately crippled, and uninterested in holding on for dear life. I went out on an A-9os, the next hand vs KJos. I played yesterday in the CDPoker WASS Casino tourney. 300 people max...with a 50 player payout. I got knocked out on pocket rockets...oh well, but I did make 1.50, finishing I think in 20-ish place.
Now to the subject of my post...following finishing up on my Savvy requirements on Poker.com, I decided to move back to Noble and finish up those last few pesky points. And to make it happen quicker, I opt to play at the .25 - .50 NL table, to get the points quicker. That was a mistake. First off the points didn't come any faster. Table I landed at was tight...w/a couple of pushers, that were just action junkies. I was barely seeing any flops, due to the basic makeup of the table. Anyway...I was bored, and frustrated, and points weren't rolling in. I raised preflop once, and got no callers, when I had a decent hand. First win in about 30 hands, w/ no real profit! Then in late position, I hit A-9 suited. I know, not that strong, but still a favorite hand, due to Rounders, although, "Mike" lost on it too! I raise preflop to $2.00. Get one caller. Flop is no help...I bet out again...he calls. Turn brings an Ace...I bet out...he calls, River, nothing, but I bet out again...he calls, and then turns over his suited Big Slick! I did this to myself. I stuck around for a time...but my heart wasn't in it any longer. Finally, left the table...down about $15.00 for the day! Especially on Noble, I'm back below the initial deposit, by a few dollars again. After as hard as I had to work for it, on this site...why did I let it slip from my fingers. Shucks!
Time to get the head on straight again...and do things the right way...slow and steady, and better table selection that that!
At any rate...time to be smart again.
