January 2009 is over, thankfully. What started out as an awesome month took a turn for the worst a few times. I had 2 peaks in this month and fell hard from both of them. So my graph for Jan 2009 is here and it looks soo so ugly.
Lucky I was up about +1k on cake this month so it was not a complete waste of a month. Then you add that I won about 500 in rakeback and its meh, a month I'm not happy about but I guess im fortunate to be in the green given the quality of my play at times.
I'm pretty sure I have a chronic tilt problem of some kind. I have a hard time maintaining foucs over long periods of time at a time. I see glimpses of focus and good play for a few weeks at a time and then it disapears. If I ever look at any of my lifetime graphs they affirm this; what you see are long stretches of one trend or another over large'ish samples of hands. I'll be a consistant winner for 30k hands, then a consistant loser for the next 30k, then break even for 20k, etc. I've been watching deucescracked videos but I think where I really need to put my effort is into maintaining focus and playing my A-game as often as I possibly can. At the same time I need to minimize how often I play my B and C-games. I think at this point I understand poker theory enough and just need to focus inward and become better at recognizing when I'm playing well and when I am not.
