I am planning on steam-rollering the Final Table at Goliath and then shooting across to DTD and turn whats left of my dwindled stack into another victory!! Simples ;D

It"s at this point I had planned on writing up the great run"s I had in the Goliath and the APAT ME.... But unfortunatly my performances weren"t as successful as my dreams!
So, I could tell you how I was unlucky in the Goliath with my flopped two pair being beaten by a rivered better two pair, then flopped two pair beaten by a turned straight, and same situation but this time beaten with a rivered flush!!! But I wont....
Nor will I go on about running my pocket Queens into Aces to leave my stack pretty well crushed at Nottingham.
Why?
Because I"m not going to become a miserable old man who never gets lucky, I"m going to learn from my experiences..
Rather than thinking I was unlucky to get turned or rivered, I"m thinking if my betting patterns were too small and letting the guy in too cheaply or not big enough to scare him off!!
If I"m honest about my pocket Queens I should have got away from that situation too, but I didn"t so it wasn"t unlucky it was bad play by me...
I guess most people believe they are better than they are. For me, I know I need to improve...
Work in progress.

Recieved my copy of "The Mental Game of Poker" a few days ago and it is confirming that I am starting to approach the game with the correct attitude, but also making me realise I still have a long way to go and a lot to learn.
Last night was a good start to my new found insight as I turned $2 into $22. Ok, it took me 3 hours to make this small profit but I felt I played well and only made 3-4 bad plays... Got lucky once when short stacked with 66 v AA making a set on the flop and quads on the river. Overall I felt I played well and was happy with my game.
Today is a different matter, I"ve played 4 MTT"s and have so far gone out about half way through the fields with the following hands:
AJ v J7 on a J high flop
AA v JJ AIPF
JJ v AK AIPF
99 v AK AIPF
Normally I would be going on "Injustice tilt" now but instead I am just thinking about how badly I"ve played other hands to leave me in these race situations! Don"t feel I"m playing well. Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing yet but I"m sure it"s better that spewing buy-ins and shouting about how rigged online poker is!
