After 2 frustrating weeks of break even results, I'm moving down to 1-2 no limit for at least a week. I haven't been playing badly (or great, either), but the cards have continually been uncooperative. I've been dealt KK four times when someone else had AA (statistically that should happen once in every 4500 hands). I've folded all four times, but still...I've missed every flush draw, been rivered over and over again - it's starting to get frustrating. I'm pretty happy that I'm break even over this period where I'm "running bad."
I'm starting to walk into the cardroom with a feeling that something bad is going to happen, instead of something good. I don't want to play like that. There is no way to play your best with a negative attitude. This is a learning experience for me.
My solution is to play a smaller game to get some mojo back. I sat there for a few hours yesterday, and immediately felt in complete control again. It was the easiest 300 I've won in weeks. There were no pros, just weak players who I can treat as sort of puppets (I know that sounds cocky but it's true, and it's good to be a little cocky sometimes. )
There is a bit of pride to swallow in moving down a level, but it's important for me to be honest about my own mindset, and put myself in positive situations. I'll be back to a bigger game in a week or two.
Thanks for reading.
