Something weird this way comes

One thing I've really been focusing the last 3 sessions is making good decisions. I've turned down the aggress-o-meter and trying to play smarter rather than brute force (i.e. checking when I miss (sometimes), calling instead of raising). I feel a bit more in control and think I'm on the way to recovery.

Here's the weird thing....at Stars I've done well with 3 pretty good sessions in a row. At Full Tilt, I couldn't beat Stevie Wonder. I can make the exact same plays at each site and have completely different results. Also, I think Full Tilt is mad at me because I haven't been in a good situation (solid hand with position) in so long I'd have to break out a calendar. It's getting so bad, I'm tempted to move my money to Stars or Party.

I'm still cutting way back, trying to play solid sessions rather than a bunch of sessions. I'm debating actually depositing *gasp* some money or just continuing to play on what I've got. Funny thing is, you'd think I was broke the way I'm acting, but I'm still up for the year and almost double of what I had at the beginning of April. That little surge in June when I got up the $1500 keeps hanging in my head and that's a number I'd like to get back to.

Don't know what the week's shaping up to look like. The WSOP stuff is on tomorrow night, so I may just watch and not even play myself.....or I could play for 4 hours. It all depends on my mood.

Overall, I'm in a pretty good state of mind about poker. I'm doing some real analyzing of what I need to work on and I think there's some long term benefit that will come out of it.
