Mindset is so bad atm |

Ugh, really been playing scared money lately + loss of confidence has really caused me to make a lot of backwards choices and mistrusts of my first conclusion when making a decision. I really gotta figure out a way to sort myself out because I've cost myself so much money due to this.
Plus on top of making a lot bad decisions due to second guessing myself, I'm running really crappy. Though I definitely could have much more profit than I do now if I was playing the game like I know I'm capable of (like 9/10 of the last big decisions I've made I've done the opposite of my first instinct/thought and made the wrong move like every time, its nearly comical..)
Well I guess this is mostly a personal issue that outside help can't do too much for. (though I suppose some coaching would still help ofc). So I'll kick myself in the ass and focus on sorting my head out, trusting my first conclusion, and definitely catch myself if I start thinking in terms of scared money.
Good luck to me (and you)

Move down, open your range, gain back confidence, own your limit.
Works for me at least ;o |

not sure how long your sessions go for.. but try playing shorter sessions more often maybe? i play every day.. prolly bout 6-7.5 hours (@ 2-2.5 hours per session). the 10 minute breaks in between help me rest my mind for a few and keep me fresh for the next couple of hours.
on top of that.. if you know you arent thinking clearly, why are you playing? honestly, when i know im not thinking clearly, i take a day or two off. really helps me regather my thoughts, and approach the game fresh.. sometimes a break is all you need to gain your edge back.

i know it's not as easy to just play shorter sessions when you're playing live, but i agree with strydah it's something to consider. last night when i went over to your table and asked how long you were going to stay and you're like "at least 12 more hours" i was like lol wtf. especially in that state of mind, no need to force yourself to sit there and hate life for that long, the 2/5 live fish aren't going anywhere 
you showed me a couple hands, one where you had KK but i cant remember the board or the action. the other one you had AT on (i think, correct me if im wrong) J978J board and on the river some donk led into you for 70 and you said you raised, i thought that was a pretty clear flat.
but anyways, you can obv beat these monkeys, aint no thang etc. etc. GL |

I know that feeling well. You'll be ok, just keep your head up. We'll have to philosophize about this dilemma on Saturday =) |
