this weekend was absolutely horrendous. I played pretty hard friday-sunday when I could and just couldnt get anything started. I had sicko stacks in a bunch but just nothing could materialize again. There is nothing more frustrating than sitting with 100bbs in multiple tournaments and then come out and min cash 1 of them....3 days in a row. That was grind session this weekend. I feel I played pretty well in MOST of them but there could still be some leaks and laydowns that need to happen. Besides that its just running better. I'm not going to continue to write about how i got beat by this and blah blah blah, its negative...and we dont need that. Instead from here on out we are going to stay positive. A positive mind is essential to playing good, solid poker and if you dont have it then it's going to cause you to spew chips or 'tilt'. I remember back from my SNG days the amount of beats I would take...and it would seem like they were rapid fire, one after the other. then a few sessions later it was like I couldnt lose a single pot no matter how bad/good I got it in. This is how cards go and you cant forget that...if you have any negative thoughts or negative feelings during your play because you took a bad beat this is going to fuck youre play up. Those other 7 tournaments you have are going to become spewfests because your head isnt in the game, youre thinking about what could have been instead of whats right now...7 tournaments....nice stacks....still alive. Why would do you multitable? for me i multitable because I want to give myself the best chance at winning as many tournaments as i can, and i want to have the best shot at that..and since volume is the key(besides know wtf you are doing) thats why we mulitable. just because 1 is gone doesnt mean you should fuck the rest up because you got 2 outted...get over it and move on. Keep your head clear about each hand going on and not what just happened.
Recently Ive been trying to review and tweak my game, I've been watching the shit out of pokerxfactor videos and trying to pick up on some things I'm doing wrong or just not doing at all that will give me an edge over the competition. It seems to be working better but I think I need to go further. This week I'm going to try to pick apart a few MTT hand histories of mine and check spots where I'm reshoving into monsters or just shipping light in general. While it may feel like the 'right' move, I dont really know until I run some numbers and check it out. I hate being results oriented but it just seems like I'm picking terrible spots and just running into monsters. I was browing one of the forums today and found a really great quote from a well respected, sick ass grinder ...i seriously think he played 5000 mtts/day for a few years straight. So I'll end this long rambled, probably doesnt make much sense post on words to remember from one of the best online grinders around....
