Wave of Mutilation

I am a lazy lazy lazy motherfucker. Let me get that out of the way. I’ve traditionally been a very low volume player, with more emphasis spent on coaching/theorizing/studying the game. This year I’ve decided to coach much less, so that I can flesh out my ability to be a better playing professional (and really get to know my true inner grinder). That’s not to say I won’t coach at all, but I don’t plan on paying for a thread on 2p2 because I don’t want that much action so to speak. That being said if you play 100NL-200NL (or 400NL on euro sites but not FTP :D) and you’re interested/super serious about improving your game, feel free to shoot me a PM because I’ll still take a couple of students a month or something.

I have set some loose guidelines for myself, mainly focusing on hours played. I feel like that metric (yes I’m using a Leatherass word from his book, and no I’m not ashamed to say I bought it because it’s got a lot of good info and I don’t give a rats ass about mindless automatons and their thoughts and opinions, it directly relates to something I have trouble with, so I’m directly finding no trouble using it, haters can hate my balls in their mouth) will let me accomplish everything else along with it.

So far it’s gone well in that I’m actually getting the time in, but I’m definitely feeling a bit of pressure adjusting to longer sessions, particularly after 3-4 hands go the wrong way, even more particularly after I bluff off a stack and wonder for a couple of minutes if my play was good, let that subside for a later review, then endure the losing end of a few standard flips/coolers. For those of you that put in a lot of volume, how the hell do you deal? Sit out for a few min? I need suggestions (there’s no roll pressure etc, I’m just competitive and hate losing :D).

Overall I feel like I’ve improved a ton working with Krantz (I keep saying this because I’m hoping it will rub off on my results in the coming weeks!), and I feel like my A-game is really going to shine this year, the question is, how can I personally, with my surroundings and daily non-routine routine, apply it more frequently and for longer periods of time at the tables? Good question. If anyone has any ideas other than healthy food/beverage/exercise/rest and the standard slew of healthy stuff let me know. I’m on that train already for sure.

I may come back to this topic another time, but for now I’m going to post a graph for motivation. This is my last 117k hands, from 25NL to 600NL, I would say 90% 6 max, 5% FR 5% HU.

It’s time to get the tortoise some FUCKING ROCKET SHOES! (I mean, he CAN still win the race no? Or will it not count because technically he’s not slow and steady anymore? How about if we just give him rocket shoes to use at the last minute like a damn NITROOOOO BOOOST haha I think that satisfies all requirements).
