did some thinking today for a bit of a change. and i realised that the reason i thrash around like a drowning child trying to stay afloat in micro games and dont crush 100nl for 8bb/100 has nothing to do with volume. it's because i suck at poker. playing more tables or for more hours isn't going to fix this. from now until further notice i play 2 tables at a time and refine my poker thought process, pay more attention to who i'm playing against, and learn to crush them accordingly. also, it seems that when im at my spewiest is when i am not thinking poker hands through logically, i get myself in ridiculous spots with no equity against unknowns, and no idea about their ranges, so i decide the only way to win is to fire the potsized barrel on the river so they have to fold. then they call and show me top pair with an eight kicker. i tilt and spew a few more buyins before deciding to quit for the night and play the level below next session. i'm hoping that playing less tables and more attention will alleviate this spew. i'll report back into this thread (population: 01) at least weekly with how this new approach seems to be going.
summary: quality not quantity is what i'm after for the time being
