I've been having lots of ups and downs. I'm currently still playing 100nl 100bb 6max, I've been changing the amount of tables based on how I feel I'm performing.
2 days ago I won 1100 even after losing that 400 pot that I posted, then the next 2 days I lost $600 each day, the 2nd day was capped off with accidently calling a $90 river shove... OOOPS!!
I was pretty frustrated with my last 2 days and confused on how I had done so bad when I started BOTH days with over $300 ev only to crash down throughout the day.
I studied some post flop hands toward the end of the night and was appalled at how bad I was playing. Not in the big all-in hands, but just in the frequent post flop to the flop or turn hands.
Check folding hands I could tell were obvious bluffs by my opponents on the hand review and what not and realized I must have been worn out and not paying enough attention.
I was 24 tabling all day, I did 2 4 hour blocks and by the last one I must have been just totally out of it. Literally hand after hand I was like.. WTF? why did i do that, and I had NO IDEA i had done it.
So today I said, fuck the vpps, and only 16 tabled. I started off with my signature +300ev in 1 hour only to lose it back as always, but kept more focused and fought it off when I felt I was slipping.
I finished a 4 hour block +550 cash and +380 ev.
I took a long walk and about a 45minute break and fired up again. I ran great.. REALLY great i was hitting flops people were folding when I didn't, and when i did get coolered I managed to keep it small. A few times i DID notice myself slipping into robot mode and auto folding hands based on the hands and not position, where i was in the pot etc. I shook it off and kept going, and in only another 2 hour session I finished the day up $1579 and +1339ev.
Great result. I was going to play another 2 hours but when I was SO frustrated yesterday I figured I was just going to leave it at this so I will wake up tomorrow ready and eager to get back at it, because if I played and lost $500 in my last hour, sure its still a GREAT day but it would make me feel a bit uneasy about playing tomorrow and I just really felt like I needed this moral victory. And with only playing 16 tables Im only getting about 400 vpps per hour right now anyway.
Hopefully I can continue to engrain the habits I have when I 16 table so as I add more I can keep playing this game, I don't need to keep donking off money playing terrible, I've done that enough this year.
