Theme of my life?

Not sure if that or even this makes sense. Basically I have concluded while on a walk in the rain today that I am in fact my own worst enemy. I imagine we all can say this but for my chosen life/profession it is insanely spot on. After an insane amount of hands under my belt it is rare that I dont know when to fold because I am beat yet countless times I find myself clicking call or jamming all my chips in. Combine that little leak with tilt and we have a major problem on our hands. Might explain my return to 100NL. The truth is I am glad I am at 100NL because I must overcome these barriers before I am deserving of playing higher. The best part, I feel I am very fucking close.

Besides poker I am my own worst enemy in the health department too. Fuck me I mean I have been blogging about this shit for too fucking long. Its time to sack up and be a man. Time to stop making excuses and start owning this world. Only I can do it. World watch the fuck out!

Here is a fine example of a spot where I think folding the flop is the obvious play. Funny thing is I had seen this 40/10 do this one time before VS a different villain and thought to myself "what a donk I bet he had QQ+" Then he does it to me and I am like well this is the 2nd time I have seen him do this in the session, I have FD I ARRRRRIN Terrible really!

You should write a poker book on the mental aspect......like Tony's......I'd read it.
