thetallpaul: I'm going to do a video review tomorrow for Jon to look at. I'm concerned that my technical game is suffering and I just can't see it. I think there is a possibility that feeling good in myself especially after a week off means that I'm not feeling the tilt hurt so much and so I think its not there when actually I'm playing horrible.
The variance continues to be pretty bad I think, but as long as its just that I'll continue to work my way out of it. If my game is shot then I'm going to quit Party Poker and take a few weeks off to regroup. I'm now down 16BI. 10 of that is just below EV and I'm pretty confident I'm actually running bad beyond that in the set up stakes that EV can't see. However the issue is that I can't withdraw from Stars without paying 4% on my currency to refund here if I carry on losing. I'm down to like 10bi on here which currently would not even get me to the 30k hands to release the bonus but I've got a lot of acrued bonus I'd hate to miss out on.
I'm currently reading Jarred Tendler - the mental game of poker not sure if you've read it but for dealing with the mental side of tilt and other issues its a real good read there is also an audio version id say its one of the best books I've read since studying poker
