Whats up guys. I havnt posted in a while, mainly due to lack of motivation of the blog, not in poker though. I have certainly been playing much better. I was running poorly with bad runouts but im actually very happy that i had the correct thought process and attentiveness to make the right folds. I have reviewed all hands and happy with how i played them.
Im back to my old august routine of a warm up and now im writing in my journal the thoughts after each session.
I might keep this blog as a "live" and online journal. It may help others.
27/11/16 – I started the session in the mind frame of making decisions quickly. Sometimes this happens to me, it feels like my thoughts are racing and I click very quickly, then I calm down, relax and think about each decision before acting. I settled into the session well, and made very good decisions with a couple out of line spots but acted accordingly throughout hand. I gave up spots where if tilted I would barrel, so im quite happy about that. I also ran well today which is nice for confidence. I definitely feel like the player I was in august. Cool, calm and collected. I didn’t get frustrated once, and accepted variance and the fact I cant win all pots. My WTSD is lower than usual lately. Perhaps im over adjusting to river aggression. Not sure, ill review. Feeling good
