Focus

Something's missing. I've been losing too much lately. Sure i have a few wins, but my losses are begining to outweigh my wins and that's not good. Well, at least i can say that I've noticed. I'm playing too many hands and playing them poorly. My reads are off. Or are my reads on, but I'm still making bad decisions?

I'd like to say that i should take a break. That's always helped me to return to my game more focused. But I don't think a break is what I need. What I need is to, simply, refocus and  get back into the game. It's just not that complicated. Poker can be tricky because human nature tends to get in the way of smart rational decisions. We tend to see fewer losses and justify bad play. But I'm not going to allow myself to do that.

I went to Harrah's the other day and I played well for the first half of my session. Then I spiraled into crappy, crappy play. I'm not sure when, exactly, I lost my focus or my good decision-making skills but it I do know it all went to hell.

This blog is to assure myself that I will not continue to play like a loser. I will get back my winning edge, and I will smoke my opponents. I am the winner I expect myself to be. I have my focus. I am a predator at the poker table. I am a force to be reckoned with. Look out, world. I'm ready!
