Keeping Warm in Winter
MintTrav:
Jesus man, relax. How many thousands did you win last year? Do you think you go from getting back-to-back HU in two tournaments with 400 & 200 runners to being a poor player just like that? Take a break to get your focus if you wish, or else don"t. But don"t come on here pretending you"ve turned rubbish when we know better.

Obviously my above post was written slightly on tilt *lol*
To be honest its not that much about the money (although that is always nice). At the end of the day I am only £100 down anyway. Last year in total was just over £10K btw :-)
It"s the fact I am playing badly. I"m not pretending I"ve turned rubbish, but I am playing rubbish at the moment (there is a difference). It would actually be easier if I had turned rubbish but it"s the fact I am (usually) not rubbish which is so annoying. I am supposed to do better - hmm I guess nobody has any right to win though
I am actually not playing that badly in tournaments, I am having problems in cash games, which is totally back to front to how I usually do.
Probably will switch to tournaments for a while after taking a break just to give my cash game a chance to recharge (not too sure why that should work either but it seems to).

Someone much cleverer than me once said.
"If you think you are behind, you probably are"
Don"t force it , breathe etc (ha ha at me giving that advice)

Might write that down and stick it on my monitor.

I don"t think you"re playing badly, I think your game has changed!
Go back to what you were doing when Ben pwned you at DTD ;D and you wont be a million miles off!
See you soon Rodders :-*

It is something i discovered about myself, and i am now (hopfully) on the way to rectifying it (not being so insanely aggressive!!)

You"re not alone Rodders, but the issue is not about being too aggressive per se, it"s about picking the right moments to be aggressive, and the moments to shut down because you know that whatever you bet some players won"t/can"t fold TPTK on a board no matter how obvious the straight or flush potential.
