Oh shit it's that time of the year again.
Start of the month => had to clear head after looong November. So I went to gym 3x in 5 days had 2 hours of floorball then partied until 6am, and my lower back just stopped working.
So I tilted some then went to france to see my pal, ate junk food back didn't heal much obv when travelling and walking.
And the spewing continued when I came back.
You can read my strategy thread, there I work on my A game. However I recently listened to first 47mins of Mental game (Tendler, 2011) and an interesting concept came up - the performance bell curve.
basically the frequency of your play can be summed as this:
you have a range of game quality, most often you play B game etc.
Watching new vids, leaning new concepts= you expand your A game
Improving how you play when tilted, tired, under adverse conditions=working on C game.
Theory is that you should strive to shift your performance bell curve up as a whole by working on your A AND C game so you play good quality game way more often.
As when you only focus on your A game your play like a superstar in the rare times when you are at your peak, and as a retard on steroids when tilted, but on average your game is all over the place but on average worse than if your A game was worse but C game closer to it as you can see in the following diagrams.
However, improving your C game is infinitely harder than working on your A game.
When you are 100% focused and play low amounts of tables you can use the rational part of your brain which is slow, doesnt multitask well tires out very very fast but works with pure logic and can change in an instant.
When your rational part of the brain gets tired (and it does that real fast) however, your unconscious mind takes over. It thinks instantly, can multitask infinitely, never gets tired, hell it manifests itself even stronger when your rational thinking is tired. It does so with almost no logic, but instead uses emotion and long engraved instincts and habits (Kahneman, 2001). Needless to say it's very hard to re-program and can only be reprogrammed with endless repetition you read about in books such as Mastery (Leonad, 1991)

So unlike in my strategy thread I will focus on my C game, post all hands I played when tilted and try to figure out why I played them that way and to ultimately try to fix the leaks, through repetition.
When I am tilted/tired; I will simply dump them here at the end of the day; as it is counterproductive to focus on your mistakes when you are performing, you should simply shrug them off as natural part of your game and avoid further making your game worse, and I will look at them when the emotional attachment has dissapeared and I can look at them logically. If you could comment on the hands as I post them that would be much appreciated.
I will also copy the op to my strat thread but Spewcember will be purely daily updates random hands and rambles that should lead to better my C game.
Patterns need to work on
1) Calling 3bets light / 3betting with total garbage when getting run over
2) Not willing to fold when I was the aggressor/put money in pot before and theres a chance I *might be good* (but its clearly -ev and I know it)
