Played for about five hours in the July SFPT tournament last Friday. Finished third; once again no balls being aggressive when I needed to. Notice a pattern?
This whole poker thing has me pretty frustrated right now. I'm not really in the mood to play or anything else the last few days. Every month I look forward to the SFPT tournament, and every time when it's over, something or things has happened to make me feel like not even doing them anymore. I can tell it's not fun for people, and if people aren't having fun, what's the point?
I'm currently fishing for ideas/input on the SFPT Facebook page as to what can be done. I don't really expect a lot of input but we'll see. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

I don't know if this current rut is just that (a temporary rut), or if it is the beginning of the end of my idea to become a better poker player and take the game more seriously. I suppose time will tell. I have read a number of pros say that on days when you aren't feeling it, don't force it. Today is going to be one of those days.
Take time to step away. I have to do it for things I love from time to time
ReplyDeleteTaking a couple days off definitely helped. I also feel like it helps when I talk to people about the game and play live. If I am doing that on a regular basis the enthusiasm remains high. Sitting here alone playing online and reading gets lonely.
