Dare to get it wrong! ![]()
This week, I have been trying out a couple of things I had read in my CG-books. Some (bluffs) were really successful, other hands, I just f*ed up! Well, we should dare to f* up, because that´s part of the learning process! So now that I can post hand histories from PartyPoker, I will not only post phenomenal hands, where I won huge pots, but also hands, which I got wrong! I will dare to get it wrong, otherwise I won´t learn anything! I have to try things out, just reading things are useless - gotta do them! Gotta try them at the tables!
Another task is the mental game when getting just "nothing" and "always just the second best hand". Well: That´s part of statistics and there´s nothing you can do about it. The only thing you can do about your own mental game. That´s my next task: Finding out, how I can deal with that and of course keeping my losses to an absolute minimum during such phases. For the "worst case" I plan to split up my sessions: This means, instead of a 2 hour session (standard), I may play two 1-hour-sessions. Just to get used to variance when it shows its "dark" side. ALL players have to go through this and dealing with those phases correctly, separates a solid player from a bad "fun-player" (aka "fish").
So, let´s focus on studying the game properly!
