July - Week 1

Played almost exclusively HU this week. Again, not spending a lot of time playing. For one, I've been occupied. Secondly, though I feel my understanding of the game is deeper than ever, I haven't been making the correct adjustments toward my opponents. I've had to snap myself out of that 'I'm playing so much better than this guy but he keeps owning me' delusion. If I was really playing better, which includes deciphering the optimal approach to the match (which is dynamic), then I probably wouldn't be bleeding buyins.

To some degree I think the concept of 'LAG' was conjured up to counter the tediousness of playing poker. Maybe NLHE itself was designed in part for that same reason. Point is, it may feed the hunger for action, but it doesn't always offer the greatest expectation.
