In this blog I develop mental discipline.

Build €40 into €5,000

And get myself to Unibet Open Copenhagen by sataliting in

played 3 2 euro sats with the ticket

first two cashed for the ticket back

last one just played stack off with AA on k52 flop, and he has A5 and he hits his 2 outer.
Then at 10 bbs, shove with KK get 5 callers, and 99's run out on the river to hit a straight, well played lame fish.
i want to punch them, going to read some of the mental game of poker.

Reading helped, I just read the section on hating losing to fish. Couple of takeaways:-

There is much more variance in poker than pro sports, its the nature of the game.
I have a huge edge over weak players but this doesn't mean I deserve to win in the short term.
I need to think of myself as a casino. Fish need to have illusion they can win against me.

Still hurts to lose, but I'm not mad at the fish anymore

Also I'm alive and breathing... Things could be worse

I'm playing a tournament tomorrow with flat payout of €40

If I cash I'm going to divide half my winnings and play half unibet open SATs €2 and half 4nl to use with no bs 6max book I purchased.

Time to grow up and shape up. This blog is turning a corner now because my game is turning a corner.

No excuses. No bitching. No crying.

Work hard. Set good goals. Be happy.

You get more of what you focus on so I'm focussing on being happy and enjoying life and my poker.

Looking forward to playing really well tomorrow.

Good morning Vietnam!

Another day another couple hundred thousand dollars for some in profit.
Another small step forward for others in progress.

Whatever you're doing. Do it in style and do it well today! :f_thumbsup:

Plan for today:

- Play some freerolls.
- Read more of No BS 6max.
- Play a tournament later where half are paid 40 euros.
- Study some DoN strategy on PS to get a strategy together to crush it.
- Win at least 2, 10 euro Copenhagen tickets after I cash in the 40 euro game later.

A little scared right now. Freeroll starts in under an hour and I need to cash here to have any bankroll. 1/3 get paid, so it's as good a chance as any to cash but still less than half will.

I googled the meaning of fear.

An unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain, or harm.

Yes this is true. Threat of danger of having no bankroll, pain of not being able to continue my journey now.

We will be gladatorial and plough into the field of battle in spite of such fears! _cool:

With the shield of preflop strategy, and the armor of expert postflop play. _grin:
