From my experience poker is all confidence. When I was on my 3-month winning streak, I literally barely ever lost. Soon as I had the one blow up, I couldn't ever win a pot.

I know that's an extreme example but there you go.

Confidence is definitely important and everyone I know that plays poker no matter how well they've done, when it's going shit they lose confidence in themselves. When I was grinding in November I felt like I was going to win everytime I played, and I pretty much did. However, if I put the volume in like I have this week and I play well then the results will come and thus confidence will comeback.

I honestly feel like I've been playing well this year but how can I be when I'm breakeven over 3k games and that's after the shit end to the year I had, it's not possible for it to be just down to running bad. Every session just seems to be the same; losing the majority of flips, getting it stuck in my eye in to many big pots and not getting there enough. But like I say I can't just be running bad. I'm so fukn frustrated at the minute and confidence is low which isn't great but I truly don't believe it effects my game. Yeah, I've cut the session short today as I was pissed off but I've been trying to grind through sessions but to no avail. I know I'm partly to blame for my lack of volume this year but when I've played it's just been going shit which is partly why I haven't been playing as much.

I'm at work tmoro and then will play Sat/Sun and see how it goes.

I'm convinced the games are way tougher than last year from the few I've played but regardless you should still be turning a decent profit.

I know its tilting when your running shit at FTs but do you not think that stopping at 100 games cos of this causes more negatives than it solves.  How many times do you think you dug out a win or breakeven 300 game session in say the last 50/100 games???

By stopping at 100 your just compounding your negative feelings imo by booking a small loss and going in to the next session on a low again.

glglglgl it will defo turn round m8, chin up.

I very rarely finish a session early but I was pretty steaming after getn fukd over in about 5 big pots simultaneously after running terrible yesterday so decided to stop. Sometimes it is better to stop and take a loss for the day instead of compounding it and the next day go into the session fresh.

Did a session with MC last night (cheers James), we went through 3 HH's and found 2 mistakes. In a way it's good that I am playing well but I was kind of hoping we find some glaring mistakes.
 
More importantly, I wake up this morning and msn insta comes on, don't normally put it on first thing as I cba to speak to anyone, obv, not a morning person ldo. Insta get a msg from Cos asking if I've got Tilt $ but I haven't. He then asks if he can ship to me and I deposit and trfr to him. Yeah ok mate I'll do you that favour. Hour and a half later I haven't recvd out and somehow that's my fault, what an absolute clown that Greek mug is. So, how much of the "monkey" he's sent me should I grimm him for and how long should I make him wait to get his money back ?

Bless, Monda writing about me to get views on his diary up.

Probably a more sensible idea to have given me your hsbc bank details rather than your bank of nairobi or whatever it is.

Bet you use this debacle as an excuse to not grind today and just get on the piss.

It is 10 seconds, but if you get the lifelines at the start you get loads of time so pretty much 3 questions gtd. Might put up a staking thread Smiley

Practice quick typing and with 2 windows side by side 10 secs should be plenty.

I agree, I'm suprised they would do this.

The WWTBAM machines were sought after by people who knew the answers to just about all the questions so I guess that could apply here too.

My guess is Laddies figure 2 things:
1) They will make loads of cash from standard punters
2) They can quickly ban anyone who knows everything/is quick at google and the money they lose before then will be pretty insignificant compared to money made from 1.
