Mental Fatigue

I was playing a cash game online for a couple hours tonight. I was playing very well for the first hour. Waiting patiently for a good hand, stealing when The opportunity presented itself. However on hour two I was starting to get tired and of course I went all in on a mid pair and got raped by his 2 pair.

Tonight was a good reminder that mental fatigue creeps up on you and you don’t really notice it until its to late.

Still, I’m glad I was able to play exceptionally well for that first hour and know when to quit and when to continue. This is probably one of the main things I will be working on in the near future to improve my game.
