Yesterday was yesterday and today is today. All I can focus on is NOW. Today I played my A-game and thanks to my boy Dodgyken started experimenting a bit with some new things. I think somewhere along the journey I forgot some things and my nuts shrunk too. I am definitely focused and playing well. I keep revisiting a Boywonder quote and think its time I start applying the same thing to my game especially if I want to make the transition to 200NL.
"Realizing that most regulars actually were not that solid and didn´t have their own game (most just basically have picked up somebody else’s preflop game that they´ve seen on a training video and have no clue why they are doing what they are doing - postflop they are usually spewy as xxxx). When you start zoning in how to scalp the regs, that´s when you start improving and that´s when you start beating the game for more than 1 ptbb / hour. And the basis for all of this was realizing how much of my game was dependant on playing when in the right emotional state, and learning how to maintain that mindframe."
Last night I realized I just avoid regs for the most part because I have to work a bit harder to beat them. The fact is they have as many leaks as the fish and arent to be feared. With a little time and effort they too can become fish which just makes playing this game that much more fun. Underneath it all I am a competitor and if I never played anyone who gave me a challenge I would be pretty fucking bored.

boywonder = sicko.
i've been doing the avoiding thing a lot as well. i think it makes sense, but learning how to beat them really matters a lot as well. have you read the slowhabit workbook? if so, did it give you some food for thought?
