antthecat:
2 weeks and 6 days to go now.

a question to everyone, has poker changed overnight?

im asking this as played last night and was playing tight, noticed that the loose player was not getting any action so how come i stack off when i only raise one hand, i thought tight play usually means the best hand(and yes i hit two pair with aj, he called a bet on the flop, 9 on the turn, i shove, snap call, flips pocket 9"s for the set) when i bet but obviously not any more, time to really loosen up tonight and see how that pan"s out.

antthecat:
not off to a good start, i pushed in on a min raise with 9"s and got called by a8 off, obviously an ace came and i was super crippled and got called when my short stack button steal got looked up by the bb, bugger. never mind, back on the horse and will try again soon.

ive been watching sky poker round a friends and i am slightly tempted to start playing (only odd occassions mind) on their site but this is a maybe(depends on what happens on friday night) as i feel that my poker in general just lacks confidence, when i get them in i know that im going to get outdrawn (i know p.m.a but its just this year in general) so just trying to limit the damage

antthecat:
played friday"s home game, absolute shocking performance, bled my chips away (drawing to a flush on the flop, offered 4-1 pot odds, just could not hit anything.) and was annoyed with myself, i raise with ak, called by aq flop comes  ac qd 8h, i bet, he raise, i fold, they show, ffs give me a break, i raise in good spots, usually ahead pre or on the flop and get outdrawn, its annoying.

sunday was pub league and out of 27 i came a piss-poor 10th, got it in with  :as: ts, got called by  qs jc and  5h :3d:(dont ask, he is a hyper loose player) and two fives came on the flop. never mind i said(swearing under my breath).

i used to perform well when i was tough on myself, people told me not to punish myself when i busted out of a tournament or lost to runner-runner in a cash game so i listened to (probably not) good advice so i mellowed out but since i have not had a result to talk about. i have decided that im going to be really hard on myself and push me to my poker limit and not be happy until i have a great result and i will beat myself up if i bust out or lose in a cash session. sounds harsh but ive got to do something to get back into some serious form.

as im writing this the dragon is moaning if im done on the internet yet(a temporary internet connection through my mobile phone) but as its my laptop and my mobile im going to let her suffer

antthecat:
small bit of form, just won a sng on bluesq, it was their giveaway 10c, first place was a massive five cents, im pleased i can win something at poker, a few more free sng"s then spin it up slowly on cash.
