The year hasn't started well for me so far, but that will change. I can put it down to really poor mental game, and lack of technical *thinking* outside of sessions to keep me up to speed. I basically need to start writing here more..........
It's clear I've allowed a ton of leaks to creep into my mental game. For one, I'm no longer unrelentingly positive when playing. In an ideal world, bad beats are seen as heaven sent 'cos they keep fishes wanting to play. Bad play on my part is just to be expected sometimes, because nobody is perfect. Variance will happen as surely as it will rain, so expect it and don't be sad when it does happen.
Discipline has also been a problem........ I'm trying not to be too hard on myself but there's been too many big mistakes VS bad bad players. Something about playing VS genuinely good players concentrates my mind and mistakes are few and far between, but if we ever start jamming AJo to an aggro 4bettor at 1-2 then that guy has won..........
I don't know where this ramble is headed really. I just need to start analysing every session again here until I get back on the winning track. So, starting now.........
Technical Goals:
Be overly nitty on the back foot.
Read our hand in our opponent's eyes.
Get to *know* the players.
If we don't know the player, it's probably a fold.
Mental Goals:
Video narrative- really important that I learn this to unconscious competency level
Positive thoughts only
Take time on medium pot+ decisions- again, really important that this gets learned to unconscious competency level.
Ok so to get the ball rolling I'll start off with a 30 minute session and then grade my performances based on the above and then do a technical review as well
