Pretty much forgot about this thread. Been playing poorly the last few weeks and lost motivation. Got back from vacation this week and feeling better mentally with regards to poker. Had some time on the airplane flights to read some Mental Game of Poker chapters.
School Finals are done and vacation is over with so I am eager to get in some grinding to make up time and money lost. Down around 5-6k last couple months so I have a medium mountain to climb. Right now I am mostly going to focus on keeping it simple and playing more tight. A lot of my mistakes I have been making are easy to prevent and I think I am in the right spot to adjust myself. I have had some good coaching sessions from both of my coaches and there is definitely common themes that I am seeing in my game.
I am really just playing too loose and I have a hard time folding. I have been told that it is nearly impossible to bluff me lol. I have been holding onto hands too much and need to just give some respect. I think I have been mistaking my play bad for run bad and it has fueled some of my subtle tilt. I think it is important for me to take ownership of my mistakes and stop avoiding the issue.
I have played two very short sessions since I have gotten back from vacation and I would rate them as A and C, respectively. The last session I committed myself in a bad spot with aces and refused to fold. Luckily it was at a lower limit. It was a clear mistake and I am going to focus on just playing solid this weekend. I plan to keep my sessions no longer than 1:15 and try to just stick to my game plan, after a few sessions of this I think I will increase the session time length to where I feel comfortable.
I made the mistakes so now its time to make them back.
