Connor fight
So the looong anticipated fight is behind us. I was really really looking forward to the fight. I was actually super nervous during the first couple of rounds. I was really happy with how those went. I was kidna surprised tho because it seemed like Connor had no power in his shots. I expected him to be a little bit more furious. After like the sixth round I was really sad about him being exhausted. I really wanted him to finish the 12 rounds but anyway Im still proud of him :P I think it was a nice fight. I hope his next fight is gonna be vs Khabib. That would be just insane.
Sunday
This Sunday was something really really special. I went to sleep after the fight and woke up around 14:30. I was afraid of being tired but it seemed that I had enough sleep so I prepared food etc. I kinda felt back in my mind that normally I would just rush a bit but not this time which Im glad. I did my full warmup - had a shower, meditated, wrote dowm my session goals and only after that I started playing.
sunday 27/08/2017
1) high level of focus
2) 8 tables max
3) if deep in MTT -> patience, dont try to rush things
4) focus on BvB
After a short period of time there were couple of spots that created some very weird response from my body and mind. I lost bunch of stacks and busted too many tournaments during that short time and that kinda accumulated some frustration in me. Like there were multiple 400-500bb pots which were either coolers or pottential missplayed hands. And as the session went by there were just more and more of these mostly cooler spots and eventually that would create this very weird feeling in me that I never experienced before.
I wished I could just quit the session right on the spot but that I obviously couldnt do. I tried to jsut refocus and stop regging. I made a decision that I wouldnt play on monday nor tuesday. I feel like I need some time off for sure. I will just try to relax a bit, maybe do some stuff to school and come back fresh because this was really really unfomfortable. I also booked a mental session right away with James. Hopefully we can figure something out before wcoop starts.
As far as results of the session I dont think I cashed a single tournament besides the 11$ payday which I managed to final table. And the FT was just absolutely ridiculous and nerve wracking. It was shallow even when it started but we played like 9 handed for an hour. Then 8 and 7 handed for another hour and half. Every shortstack would always double in ridic fashion etc. In the end the avg stack was 19BBs which meant basically everybody had 17BBs and below and chipleader had like 35 lol. I ended up busting 5th which was pretty meh. Again, so close but no.
I booked a massage for today, planning to take these two days completely off. Will do some programming, go outside, do some other things trying to free my mind and refocus.
