Ravageur's Life Thread

glad a link helped!

So today, I sat down in the whee hours of the night, eliminated 3 tables, and 9 tabled very calmy, focusing on my breathing, thinking through each play, tweaking my bet sizes, adding overbets to my arsenal (something I had inexplicably stopped doing), and lo and behold, I played the best poker all month and had a solid winning session.

nice one.

I intend on playing no more than 9 tables and I'm not going to place any goals on amount of hands played or hours. I'm just going to try to play as close to my A-game as possible, and most importantly I'm going to try to stop playing the very SECOND I feel like my emotions have been compromised. While I'm not going to check results as I play, if I feel like I'm down more than 5 buyins, even if I feel I'm playing fine I'm going to force myself to stop for at least an hour. Because today when I was playing, I realized how I can absolutely destroy 1-2 when I'm playing my best, and it's not even close. I easily made 3 buyins more today than I would have yesterday because of my frame of mind and the small adjustments I made through careful observation and having more time to think.

That's it for now. It's fun to be a bit excited again about poker, and not just in the 'can't wait to grind this bonus' sort of way.

sounds like a recipe for a happy life in april, and maybe some $$ along the way
