Gauss Blog, Never Surrender. Never.

July 2o1o Quality Control.

 

You know, with all my study and good intentions, sometimes Im not sure that all of the hands I play involve quality decisions. While better than past results, my bankroll is nowhere near where I want it to be, and I think the poorly played hands, the hands played on autopilot and while tired may have something to do with it. I know Im more than bright enough to beat these games, the issue I think is quality control.

 

So once again its time to rededicate myself to improvement. I think I will set strict session time limits on myself to ensure that less of my hands are played badly. Its though to sit for many hours and have the 2ooth hand be played with the same focus as the first.

 

Currently Im grinding Rush week and FT mid year bonus, so alot of hands have to be played to take advantage of the bonuses, but I have got to make sure those hands are played well. The sick thing is I saw this issue coming just as soon as I realized how much play would be involved in clearing everything, yet still there have been issues.

 

Heads up microstakes tourneys, which I previously thought would be my go to easy game, have turned into a huge frustration. I dont know if it has to do with all the bonus grinding elsewhere, or level if the of competition has changed or what, but Im not getting it done there and that is disappointing. I have found I can beat 1o plo and 25 plo fairly readily.

 

I love the game but Im actually lookign forward to clearing these bonuses and regrouping a bit. One thing that has gone well is diet and exercise, I am fairly fit these days so at least fast food mailaise isnt a concern. Hope to keep it that way.

 

Overall, I am still a losing player and it pisses me off. I will beat these games eventually though, got to get focused. Never surrender.
