How good can I really play?
I talk a lot about this, but now I want to live it. And I'll do it here for everyone to see.
I've had some good success in the last few weeks. I've been crushing the highest stakes that I am allowed, and I've been disciplined in playing everyday. But have I played my best poker?... I don't really think so. Looking through HM2 tells the story of solid but not spectacular poker, of winning money but not as much as I could have. I'm not satisfied; I long for the satisfaction of playing my best.
So what does my average game look like? What does my elite game look like? Over the next few days I'm going to put maximum effort into producing a sample of my best play and we can compare it to my play over the last month.
Of course this brings the question of "why the **** don't you just always play your best?" but that is a long answer for many many postings.
