New fav player: Brian Townsend

I've been watching videos of Brian Townsend and they changed my game completely. Everything makes sense now. Everything I've done up until this point has been on feelings but now I understand why I'm making the moves that I'm making. I'm so deeply touched right now it's unbelievable. This is easily the biggest epiphany I've ever had poker related.

I'm probably the least cocky person I know. (I think that statement was an oxymoron... whatever) Anyway, up until this point I've really felt that I'm no better than anyone else. That if one of my friends came up to me and wanted to play poker I probably wouldn't be that big of a favorite. I really started to get that confused about poker and I think I really don't have enough confidence in myself. It's probably due to my bi polar disorder that I don't know about.. yet.

Humans are so emotional.. and I am so emotional about poker that you really can start doubting yourself at times. Poker really takes a toll on ones mentality. Any person who has been on a losing streak can tell you that. Thanks to Brian's videos though, I know I'm actually playing awesome poker went I start to lose confidence just because luck isn't on my side in the short term and it really has fixed some huuuge holes in my game. 5/10nl is just a couple inches away now. :)

Swings, patience, balance

I reached an all time high of about 35k a couple months ago and then it was down down all down hill from there on out. When I play poker I am contantly learning and comming up with new ideas for the game. Something that may work in the shortrun such as things like trying your hardest, putting a ton of pressure, and playing a wider variety of hands can cause side effects to your game i.e. tilt, wider swings, frustration, and drain your concentraition. You can't do too much of something or not enough of another thing. You can't play poker always the same or constantly different. I believe that there is an ideal balance on to how to play because poker causes us to become very emotional at times.

Only the last week did I try to fix my game again. I know that everytime I read or ask certain questions usually I find what I'm missing from my game fairly quickly. There are things that you have to learn off the table and some things on the table. Although it was a big loss, losing 25k was a lesson in itself. It really helped with my tilt and hopefully will take more to put me on tilt in the future.

I'm playing 1/2 short again 8 tabling and some tournaments and tearing it up. I won a tournament yesterday for 4.6k so that was pretty exciting. I'm playing the best poker I've ever played and fixed a huge hole in my game. What was it you ask? That's ganna cost you 25k ;).
