Ultimate Zone Warriors

I really sympathize with playing timid after winning a certain amount and also playing worse when you feel the games are easy and uninteresting. Thats why when I move to another site or go up the stakes I play much better than when I am a regular at the given stakes.
Hoping to read your next article soon, gj.

So true. Gr8 read. Ty Ket

excellent read, very well rounded article.

good stuff. did you get this from the power of full engagement?

I'm going to start practicing these methods to maintain focus, because I feel there is no coincidence that somedays I play better and some days I don't since i'm somewhat inconsistent with diet/exercising/sleep schedule. A fine footprint you've left here on this site Ket, GJ.

Props sir. I know for sure there's times where I feel i'm playing my A+ game and other times when i'm playing much much worse. And it's not the cards it's me.

Nice tips to get started tho.

Just to clarify, I think he for sure means in the toilet.

Wait... Right?

If you are focused, discplined, and motivated you will accel much more than somsone who is out of shape, poor work ethic, and constantly sourrounded by distractions.

Thank you,Ket.Few are the people who are so aware and deliberate to share their knowledge with others.

Thanks Ket. I might actually forward this to people who get pissed when I dont answer the phone or ask them not to bother me during a session.

Also I showed several people on here graphs of my play on my desktop vs my laptop like 75k+ hands on each and the results were ridiculous. Even though I was on a 10" laptop, my results were much better and much lower variance than on my 2 monitor desktop. This goes against what might ones first impression that the desktop would have better results because I have no overlap and bigger table sizes, but I think this articles outlines a lot of what went wrong.

With the laptop I was forced into a state of flow since it required more effort, on the desktop there was more space open to distraction - i.e I could fit 8 tables PLUS AIM, pokertracker window, etc etc. Even without those things play could be more casual since I wasn't forced to toggle screens etc. My results didn't fall in line with (or exceed) my laptop success until I really focussed on keeping my concentration and eliminating these distractions.

Anyway ty.

U DID A GREAT JOB : WELL DONE;
i'M WAITING FOR THE NEXT ONE

That was a very good read. Some great advice there!



Cheers. <3
