Not gonna do the same mistake again.
------------------------------------------------------------------
It's time to wrap up this March Madness month, I'll be taking couple of days off to get myself physically and mentally prepared for grinding WMX series in April which will hopefully bring some binkzz.
Giraffe for starters:
My best month in terms of profit, and I'm still very unhappy with my overall behaviour. 2 months ago Ive decided to stop playing ps.eu and stop playing anything above 50$ and both of these decisions seem pretty good. I did a lot of reviewing of many aspects of my game and instafixed couple of leaks and found new ways of exploiting fish (and regs) and it all kind of clicked together with pretty solid run. Still ordering pizzas and smoking weed every day.
Main thing I did was to try playing deepruns more focused and learn to pass on some small edges in high variance spots for heaps vs weaker players / protect my stack more. In the past Ive bluffed way too much out of my <25bb stacks and that simply isn't way to win on small/midstakes. Players are bad and 90% of players are making insanely big mistakes all the time and every single time when I punt a stack with reasonable hand to do so but vs guy that a)never bluffs and b)never folds I just feel so **** stupid since obvious explo adjustment is just to never bluff that guy with check raise otr.
Any of this isn't new to me but lack of focus is keeping me from being able to execute it on constant basis. Sometimes while I'm in my 6th/8th/10th hour of grinding I just lose the bigger picture and focus only on short term - like some ego trips where I just want to take down the pot no matter what in clearly not so good spot to do so. I know that these things hurt my bottom line a lot but what hurts me more is that I still do nothing about improving quality of my life which will obviously improve my mental game pokerwise and therefore my profits and therefore quality of life.
I swear that in March I didn't do a single healthy thing. I'm on the biggest heater ever and I feel bad about myself and I NEED TO improve my overall hapiness. In the last couple of years I have stopped some toxic friendships and relationships from going on but what happened in the meantime is that I haven't made any new ones. I was going to raves/used a lot of drugs and hanged out with gazzilion different ppl and did a lot of crazy stuff back in the day (talking about 2010-2015 period) but none of that matters now since years are passing by faster than 3b shoving 77 16bbs vs BTN open. Let's say I'm gonna bink 100k or whatever in next period of time - and WHAT ? That isn't an accomplishment, that's just money. I'm not sure if it would made me happy, it probably wouldn't by itself.
I didnt want to rant this much but what the heck, these things are pretty much killing me and writing them down publicly will hopefully make me impact them. I'm goalless grinder and that is because I'm playing MTTs staked my whole 'professional' life and altough I've learned how to make money in tournaments I haven't learned a thing about having my own bankroll but I'm eager to try to become independent in next couple of months but I'm not clear with myself still on this as I haven't put decent thought about my goals yet.
Right now the plan is to relax next couple of days and then grind the hell out of the Winamax series, hopefully with profits in the end and not some huge makeup. I won't be changing my disgusting March habbits as right now I'm in the ffffkin zone pokerwise. As soon as it is over I'll take a LOT of days off wherever ( not in my house ) and work on my longterm and shortterm poker and nonpoker goals and then find the best way to execute.
Salute
