More mindset

My biggest hurdle as I mioved through the stakes has become tangling with regs. I literally take offense when they continually get involved in pots with me. Taking offense means I am allowing emotions to play a factor in my decision making wether that be very minimal it doesnt matter. Basically my approach from 220NL and up has been all wrong. I vow to no longer table select. I will seat select. What that means is if the villain on my left is making my life hell I will switch tables. If there is one mark and no one making my life to difficult I am grinding end of story. I want to be the best which means playing Vs anyone.

Here are two more keys from The Poker Mindset:

1-Average is not an acceptable standard in poker
2-Riskneutrality is the only acceptable attitude towards risk

I am beginning to grow excited about playing poker again though I still have a lot to get done before i sit again. 1st I plan on watching a few videos especially both of the new Leggo additions (Patonious, The_End). 2nd I will be putting in 20k hands at 100NL when I do come back. Stay tuned for more.

Catching up on the last few weeks...glad to see you are blogging again, as you definitely have some good thought provoking posts...when I can read them.

Sorry that poker has been so frustrating lately, but sounds like you're doing the right thing taking a bit of a break and recharging some positive emotion/energy towards poker. Did your son get to take his big wheel out yet? Cold, but at least the rain has stopped for a little bit.

Santa left my whole family silly string in our stockings, so we stepped out and had a little war when the rain went away yesterday :).
