So here's the deal, I feel like this is applicable to all forms of poker, no just Limit.

Even though I am a proven winner at the levels I have passed through I do not feel as if I can discern why I am winning and not losing except for the fact that I know my competition on a whole is not better than I am. I find myself making so many plays w/out reasoning that I just feel lost during the game. I really have little reasoning why I am doing certain things.

All of this leads to the fact that I just don't play much poker right now. Im not going to say Im scared to fire up FT, I'm not. I know if I play I will win; however, I just feel like the deck is hitting me in the face and that Im going to go on a large downswing anytime now. I really have not heard about this around FTR. Typically if someone is losing they call it variance, well, IM WINNING AND IM CALLING IT VARIANCE.

Because of this I think Im going to take some time off of poker. A $100 Amazon.com gift card just bought me TOP, HEPFAP, and WTO by King Yao. I think I'll try to read all of these books within a small time frame and maybe I'll learn some new theory to this game. I think I am fortunate to come to this realization before my poor play actually starts affecting my BR negatively. Ill probably be posting some theory in here as well as bumping old threads in the FTR Book Club forum.

Until then, gl boys.
