1.847 ETH gas to chase a +EV reload with a head full of sand

79 Inside, clear out there, and I'm staring at spreadsheets through sinus fog like it's a virtue. Had the week covered—small green, just enough—and instead of walking I started running the numbers on that sister site reload that's been burning since Tuesday. 35X WR, 40% table weight, 2.3% Edge on paper. Then gas spiked to 12% bridge fee and I ran it again: 1.847 ETH effective cost to get in position. Still +EV technically. Technically.
You ever know something's +EV and still feel the variance in your chest?
Didn't pull the trigger. Waited. Rewrote the sheet three times. Then said it and opened Jackbit 3-card instead, half stakes, half attention. Dropped the small win in forty minutes. Not chasing, just... Present. The math was right, the body was wrong, and there's a difference.
Tight week before payday. Tighter now. Green was green and I treated it like oxygen.
Anyone else grinding with reduced bankroll discipline lately, or you

Mate I feel you on the fog but you're doing the maths on gas while I'm still looping that 23:59:40 spin—cleo dropped 800x this arvo and I actually *pressed withdraw* instead of reverse, first time ever, feels alien
*Wait you said you had the week covered already nvm, ignore me, buzz still humming sorry

VirgiePaul's got the real post there—"tell that to 4am"—that's where the math goes to die, mate. You're doing spreadsheets sick like it's a flex but I'm over here thinking maybe I dodged something not chasing that reload, still flat though. That fog makes you stupid in ways EV can't fix.
