My Pre WSOP blog
I play my first event tomorrow. I'm nervous, excited, and mostly uncertain of what to really expect this year. I'm more experienced, better than I was last year, and a year older, so I'm sure that I will do well. Reading back on what I just wrote worries me slightly. I should be a lot more excited/pumped for this year, but things have been really tough on me leading up to the series. I had a goal of living a comfortable liftstyle with a nice roll for this series to enjoy myself, and it hasn't turned out this way. I read an article today by Mike Caro (yes he's nuts and probably outdated, but he has amazing experience being a poker pro which is never outdated) I HIGHLY suggest any poker pro out there or aspiring poker pro to read this article. http://www.poker1.com/archives/8505
It essentially sums up, how I've been doing. The downswing I had earlier this year, really put a devastating blow on my confidence. It's not easy to regain that confidence without regaining all the money lost. In order to combat this shadow of doubt that has been looming over me, I want to break through with an amazing WSOP this year. I want the success, the money, the fame, the confidence. I will do my best in achieving all of this. I have an amazing opportunity right now, and I need to dive head first. I need to put aside all my troubles/doubts for this summer, as if I can really get a hold of a clear mind, and healthy outlook, I will be a big force to be reckoned with this year.

Just keep in mind how brutal it can be if you base your confidence on tournament results.
