Just to let you know. I've sucked so far in my new rebuilding campaign and prop bet. I spent some time yesterday playing about 1K hands 4 tabling. I was getting killed (-4+ buy-ins) . I stopped and sat in the living room and had a drink. The whole thing was weighing on my mind. Why am I losing so much, there must be something. So I read, here, there (other guys) and my Poker Tracker. I realized I'm an idiot. I lose way to much with TPTK. I don't mean I have QQ and 3 bet preflop and get all in with some idiot just to find he has AA or KK(which both happened last night as well as a Set over set), those are where you should get stacked, if at all.

I have noticed in my recent 2 or so months of learning aggression and betting , I haven't recognised when the other guy has a hand. I am so busy now, trying to stop drawing hands with "not giving odds", that I haven't been able to notice that I'm beat. My focus in the hand is all wrong. I have somehow begun to play just my hand. Not when I'm playing 1 or 2 tables, not when I start playing a session, but usually when I've been playing a bit. When I have 125 or more BB at a couple tables, things feel easy. I get too relaxed. I get so focused on my old leaks and trying to bet properly and be aggressive pre and post flop, I've forgotten to watch them. The stuff that should be automatic isn't, the stuff that requires my thinking and watching is not getting tended to. You guys have told me, I know, even looking back,

I've ben told this outrite. Yes I've seen it, yes I've noticed, but there was this "AHA" moment. We've all had them. I hope this was mine. I went back, got to within a half buy in of even, before stacking of preflop QQ vs AA. That was enough, I may have found the problem. You told me, but like an addict, rock bottom is all it takes. Sucks I know, but without rock bottom, how do you stop falling.

Let's hope, I'll keep you posted. his is the beginning or the end. My bankroll cannot withstand much longer. I will be posting my bankroll and some thoughts in our Bode-ist vs Trainer_jyms, Round 1thread.
