Meh...

I am not fresh, in fact I am pretty "burnt out". But not in an obvious way. You know sometimes you go to play and you can feel you are tired. That's cool. You can quit, go home and sleep.

I am not tired like that. Physically I feel fine. But I am not. I am not 100%, and haven't been for a long time.

I take shit for granted, I think I can clock in at a table, wait for hands, get paid and book a win. I feel I don't need to pay attention, I have a real bad attitude problem. That's for sure.

I play bad. You know what is the worse thing, its when you know what to do and you don't do it. Like these fish they don't know any better, so its OK, you see for them if they don't win, or the times they do win (especially when they make a bad play and lucky), they don't know any better.

They go home happy either way, or sad. But that's it. They are not the cunts sitting at home beating themselves up over incorrect decisions and mistakes.

We all make mistakes. I am not a "bot", I will make mistakes. The fewer mistakes you make the more money you make.

During a session there are 1,000s of mistakes ready to be made. Even before you play a hand you can make a mistake or make a bad decision.

Focus, discipline and an unbreakable resolve. Get your shit together, have a strategy (which is flexible to adapt and cope with the ever changing dynamic of the game) and put that shit into play.

Positivity. For fuck sakes, you are playing a fucking game, yeah for sure rent money is on the line. But fuck my life you could be out selling crack, or whoring your ass for £65 a spin. Or more in context be in a 9-6 job which you hate and makes you depressed.

Meh, pointless ranting!

Best tip on how to get good at poker apart from the basic best tips (like focus, tilt control bankroll management, mood management, position etc)?

Question your shit? Why do what you did? Why bet? Why call? Why fold? Why play in this game? Why sit in this seat? Why? Why? Why? Answer that shit!

Then, ask that shit DURING THE FUCKING HAND, AT THAT FUCKING MOMENT, and answer it, THEN ACT.

Don't ask! On unrelated matter me and the boys went bowling tonight. Rob tried to hustle us, but no money was lost and fun times were had!
