Update

I was messing around on FTP and found out that I was 4th in the twoplustwo league for the fantasy poker.I picked my team ages ago,forgot about it and not made any alterations to my team.Maybe I should be a sports bettor.

I have had a rough time so far with poker this year,the main thing is people are improving,not as much dead money as there used to be and I have played bad/run bad.So yeah I use every excuse in the book to cover why I'm sucking so hard right now.

Well hopefully this will all change soon,I wouldn't say I'm super motivated but I'm certainly motivated to improve my game and get back up to scratch.At the moment I have been trying to improve heads up.The main things I'm trying to nail are less tilt,spew,ill advised moves and just all more all round solidness of my game.I think when I'm playing good I'm a great player but I find it hard to keep my A-game up and I veer off from the best paths at times.This is definitely the most important thing to me.I have spent around 20k hands focusing on improving my red line.As a result of this I have been playing my arse off in very light spots indeed.I think it's improved one part of my game and destroyed another.Well not destroyed as I just need to get out of the habit of always having air :) I'm sure my blue line would go up a bit in another 40k hands maybe :)
From now on when I play I want to always follow these rules:

Play my A-game


Quit when I feel that I can't bring my A-game or I'm veering from my A-game


Don't play tired or with negative emotional feelings


Soon as I feel the tiltmonkey inside swinging around quit the session


After I have a better control on all of the above I will look into not be such a lazy arse and play allot more than 2hrs a day(I have not even managed this lately)

Over & Out
