Played So Bad But Learned A Lesson

By AHMWM on 09/25/2007 read AHMWM's complete blog
I arrived at home just after midnight again and decided to multi-table NL10. I hit a few big hands which won me a decent amount but I couldn't stop spewing chips left and right. I wasn't paying attention and making terrible plays all the time. Recently I have learn a vast amount of knowledge of how to use positional aggression at 6-max ring games. My play has been fairly swingy since I have change my style for fairly weak-tight to a much more tight-aggressive style of play. I have now learned a new lesson.

Weak-tight play can earn you a positive win-rate at low levels. Truly tight-aggressive play will earn you much better win rates if played correctly. But to play the tight-aggressive style you must have a focus level much more intense vs. playing weak-tight. When other things are on your mind or when you aren't motivated to play your best poker........DON'T PLAY. I have to remember this from now on. By playing without my FULL focus I am asking myself to blow my bankroll. I am determined to move up through the levels of NLHE and I must keep full focus at the tables at all times. Although I may have lost a buy-in tonight I feel like I learned a lesson far more valuable. Focus=Better Play.....period

With that out of the way, I have no morning classes tomorrow and no work. I do have night class but hopefully I can get some hands in during the day if my mind is in the right place. This isn't how I wanted to start the first week of my blog, but if I keep my head up and turn my A game back on I know I will be heading back in the right direction again soon.....
