Hello, before you read this I would just like to say im trying to learn this and would like someone who has been through a this area, just to confirm that I am on the right track or maybe put me in the right direction, please feel free to criticize what I have wrote below.
I've been reading the mental game of poker and I have been trying to use the inchworm concept, I believe I have been doing it all wrong, I have been setting goals for a session, I that I thought was my back end of my game are in fact just leaks (i.e calling overbets), , (obviously I want those out of my game :f_biggrin:) The real back end of my game is for example blind defence, steals and playing vs resteals, or in in my case, squeezing and playing vs the squeeze. as you can clearly see below.
This is also very important, on my old blog when I set it up I was working a lot on my mental game, and at that time I was getting nervous a lot in 3bet pots playing vs 4bets and 4bet pots, now because I have a good idea what im doing in that area, im much more relaxed, and don't get nervous (at least not like I used too).
I sat out and stopped playing to write this before I forgot, I notice that exact similar pattern, in these 2 hands below, witch tells me need to work on my squeezing and playing vs squeeze, I went from crushing the 2 tables to calling station fish, simply because I didn't know what I was doing. I was $35 + after these 2 hands I lost $15 witch made me only $20+, another thing I noticed it sent me on tilt slightly I got looser and called a few bets without thinking, simply recognising this must be a step forward to say the least.
