The last days i grinded not so bad,i went to bed and i was thinking a lot about things i can do better.Because i feel that I'm far away from my optimum A game.In the morning i woke up early and i talked to my good poker mate Volkan per skype.He is a long time pro now and he helped me a lot in my past to get also a pro.The psychology in poker is a really important part.Is not only the right strategy and all the other skills that a player need.From our opinion is the mindset and the anti tilt one of the most important skills that a player need to make long term a good profit. So after talking with volkan spended some time to think about my realistic goals,and the things i can change and do better in the future.The brain is the biggest and best computer in this world,OK for sure not my brain :} but i will start getting more information about the mindset.There are a lot of books special for poker player and also there are some good videos to make me understand what is going on.After i understand that all it will be more easy to get my emotions on the poker tables better under control and i can play longer and more profitable at all.
Some of my goals i set is to increase my maximum of tables.I can play 20 constantly with a game(if i don't got a hangover) but i will go up to 25-40 slowly step by step if possible.
One if my main problems is that i really got a mental problem to climb up in the limits again.For sure i got the skill but in Goa i experienced a very tough time in my poker career.That i was close to get broke.Thanks to all the power cuts and Internet issues.I was loosing permanently money in each single session.My nightmare was really that i need to get a job again,thanks to Thailand that i started a good comeback last year.Now i need to get myself together and start new and serious.
If i can handle all this sngs i will grind 1500games per week with two day off.
I also need to think about a new poker setup,which makes me feel more comfortable so i can relax better.
if somebody got some good ideas please let me know.
Cheers Heiko
First of all thanks for the credits u hawe givven to me but you achieved whatever u achieved yourself with poker so u are the one who must feel proud obviously. As you said with the games getting tougher, every edge we can get is becoming more important day by day and having a better mindset and controlled emotions when you hit a rough patch is more important than ever these days. And its not only with poker but u will be more strong and sucesfull in many aspects of life.
ReplyDeleteAs with the increasing tables and wolume i think u are far ahead @ this matter than probably %99 of the online poker community that i hawe no interest in giving you any advise about this but as common sense a bigger screen or an additional one makes sense but than again u are one of the best in this case so thats your call.
Hopefuly we will grind together in Tahiland sometime this year my good old friend so u can teach me some mad skills about 40 tabling 180 mans and picking up some ho's :))
Take care and gl!
Volkan.
