I have to be honest, I was becoming quite demoralized these past few sessions. Started feeling like a descent into The Abyss. But I had hope from my experience that things tend to turn around over time. I also kept in mind that over half my losses this month were due to shot-taking the bigger mixed game, not due to my regular games.
I was only going to win a just over 1/2 the time against two Vs, a little more or less depending on backdoor flush draws. Boy am I glad I did:
Hand | Pot equity | Wins | Ties |
---|
KKQQ9 | 56.68% | 338,416 | 5,001 |
ATKQ3 | 20.74% | 68,739 | 113,121 |
KT9 | 22.58% | 79,724 | 113,121 |
I feel really confident in my game, mental and technical. I have been integrating everything I have learned over the years - deep breathing, mental/physical routine, BR management, pushing small edges, (obviously) poker knowledge. I really wanna become a great player! I have dramatically improved at everything - table presence, image, tilt control, fearlessness, handling losing well. (Thanks to increasing the meds - haha...!) A couple people recently have said I look like a completely different person. One acquaintance from free bar poker said he was proud of me after hearing the games I played. "Look at you, wearing nice clothes...," he said. Haha! I get recognition from my peers too. It's very validating that my work has paid off.
But I wonder how I can keep getting better now? I suppose I can brush up on my hold 'em game and continue mixed games practice. But what else? I never want to stop improving, otherwise I'm falling behind. I really think if I want to push myself I have to play in the bigger games in Florida, but that would upset my routine, which is holding me back from committing....
