So since my last roflpost, a couple of things have happened.
I e-mailed my family that night and revealed to them that I haven't been doing well at all, and that I would like a ticket home. Specifically, I msg'd my grandma, who is a total sweet heart. A couple of hours later I got an e-mail back. I can get home anytime I want and I have 3 choices of where to stay for however long I'd like. They still support me 100% and encouraged me to do what is best, whether its go home in 3 weeks and pull myself together, or stay here longer if I can. Basically, it reminded me that the only one calling me a failure and a fool is myself. And it took a lot of stress off of my mind.
Yay.
So, the next day I was feeling a lot better (And still am), so I asked grandma to hold off on the plane ticket for a week or so.. which brings me around to poker.
I've spent the last couple of days taking a very relaxed approach to how many hands I need to be putting in, since that is clearly not where the problem is, and I've instead been 3 tabling for 30-45minute sessions. Focusing on building myself back up and getting confidence in my hand reading again. I've also significantly tuned up the aggression, simply acting on what my idea of their hand range is instead of... not. lol.
Its only been 1.2k hands, just trying to play 2-4 hours a day of these little sessions.
I feel a lot better, though I still am getting thrown off my proper head too easily. Hopefully that will improve over the next week, if it doesn't I will probably go ahead and get a ticket home for sometime in May.

When you *Know* you are doing the right action before you do it, based on all variables at hand then poker can be actually fun even when you are losing -,- |

indeed largely following that list of things to do in my last blog lemon, so thanks
lol only thing is I'm running 25/22/12% 3bet over this sample, definitely looser than usual, especially my 3betting, so I'm wondering if I will start getting played at back more eventually etc, I suppose I will have to adjust to that too |

Play every player individually - You should let go of the static stats based thinking, they are a mere guide.
Use the force of thinking to guess how observant is each individual villain, what affects his decision and what does he desire at the table
With almost 100% certainty some people adjust to you already, and some people do not and never will, and some are like you, play by stats and need a large sample before changing their play :o |
