Struggling pro

Today was the first day in the red. Lost $200, so no biggie for 2/4-3/6. Especially consider the heater I was on earlier this week. I’m consistently making two pretty big errors though:

1) When raised on river (and in some other spots aswell) I act way too quickly and end up making a lot of bad calls.
2) I miss pretty clear value by not raising and re-raising enough.

Overall I need to be a little bit cooler and use the seconds I have better. Point 2 is about taking my time and reading villains range and realize I have an edge (or not). They are also somewhat connected. My failure to make some obv folds makes me need a bigger equity edge on my value raises. I also feel my quick play results in me giving away some pretty obvius timing tells.

Tomorrow I will try to focus on slowing things doooown, which is easier said than done while 4-tabling. One trick is to let go of the mouse between every two clicks.

To be perfectly honest the last session today was the first this week I didn’t really felt like playing. But I decided to any way. I don’t regret that decission, even though I lost some. My priority was to get hours in and I think that’s fine.

Let’s hope tomorrow will be a better day!
