Thanks guys, had a pretty brutal Sunday though. 12th in the 22c, 34th in the 109 turbo, nothing else really panned out. Feeling pretty tilted right now but I need to avoid falling into the trap of feeling like I can win everything. Back on the horse tomorrow for my 9th straight day of grinding, to try and lock up that miniFTOPS leaderboard.

Nice read so far.

I want to continue that improvement and make sure I don't get sloppy, so I've renewed a lot of my training site subscriptions and really got back into watching videos lately. I didn't put a daily goal on this just because there will be some days where I don't want to ruin my focus by introducing new ideas, and some days where I want to really plough through a particular series and get some new concepts
How many sites subs do you have?
What are you favorites as per content and pros?

Used to have about 7-8 site subs, now I have 4 I think. Wasn't using them enough. I definitely haven't watched 50 videos/month since January but I'm improving in other ways.

Favourite content, I don't know really. Most of the stuff that had the biggest impact on my game was too long ago for me to really remember exactly what it was. Favourite pros, pretty much anyone on RunItOnce (except betudontbet, for some reason I just can't watch his videos), Assassinato on P5s Training, KidCardiff6/aaaaaa/DannyN13 on TPE, and a few others.

Thanks for reading. GL all!

12th confirmed rigged place.

01/14/2013 $300K Guaranteed Sunday $200.00+$15.00 12/1418 $2,250.00
03/25/2013 $250K Guaranteed Sunday $200.00+$15.00 12/1443 $2,164.50

... and once in the bigger 109 this year. But well thats how MTTs are, each year you got like 6-7 important Flips that would make a difference between an avg. year and an awesome year.

yeah, this guy was super bad, I also thought there's no way he had a set there. You played great Matt, you'll ship it soon

Yeah I was pretty tilted at the time last night but I did a couple hours of mental game work after my session and sorted a few things out. I probably do way more mental game work than I do technical work these days. Anyhow, back on the horse for more today - someone's catching up to me on the miniFTOPS leaderboard, gotta get me another final table!

Don't be greedy now, Matt. "Mental game work"? Beyond reading The Mental Game of Poker, I've no idea what that would mean. How do you study mental game stuff?

Just following some of the practices suggested in TMGP, doing mental hand histories and stuff. Mostly writing. I also recently got my copy of TMGP2 and read through some of that - made me look harder at my own game than I have for a while. Looking forward to the rest of it.

In other news, I have five viewings on new apartments scheduled for tomorrow. Pretty excited about that.

Thanks dude, I appreciate it. GL!

Only thing of note today is a) I believe I've managed to hold onto the miniFTOPS leaderboard for another day despite having to anti-sweat a couple of people who could have made a late charge, and b) I discovered via an email from PokerStars.fr that when I play the FPS event in Amnéville at the end of next month (the one I won a seat to the other week), as a qualifier I will be required to wear Stars patches. Fine by me, will make me feel like such a livepro Will have to post a pic of myself wearing one.

On a similar note, when I move to my new apartment in a month or so I promise I will post a pic of it and of my setup. I was meaning to post a pic of my setup ages ago but honestly my apartment right now is so ****ty and small that I don't even wanna post it any more Hopefully I find a good new place tomorrow - five viewings, wish me luck!

is it more of a brag or more of a beat? :P Such a live pro ITT Yeah, they require you to wear the patches and also you have to out your PS SN under which you qualified, I think, but you're already outed so that's not a problem
