Now, that's better

*sigh*

Well, I don't want to get too excited, but the worm may have turned.

I had a decent night on Monday, solid night on Tuesday, and a great night last night finishing 4/472 in the 7PM $10+1 MTT at Full Tilt. I'd love to say it was my mastery of poker, but it was a combination of playing smart/aggressive, picking my spots, and being a luckbox in one critical hand. All in all, I wes really happy with how I played. I made on bonehead play at the final table, but it didn't kill me and I almost made a comeback. Essentially, the chip leader dominated from beginning to end and we were just there fighting for 2nd.

In the end, I got back $380 and made back about 1/2 of my losses for July......thank God. I'll be honest, I was a bit depressed about how poker had been going and starting to question every decision I made....not a good way to play poker.

I'm hoping this time I've got all of this experimentation crap out of my system. I know ABC poker is boring, but even at $100 NL, it's profitable. My problem is that i want to try and think on a Greenstein/Reese level when I'm playing with people who can barely understand the concept of hand selection and position. Granted, the play at $100 NL is better, but it's also generally TAG and people don't get away from hands very easily.

It will sink in.......I hope.

At least I'm learning....a little.....slowly......
