So I'm in a bit of slump, down for 3 straight days and I'm now going back over my plays to see my mistakes. I am picking out a few over aggressive steal attempts as well as a few hands where I just didnt give my opponent credit and tried to push him off of his monster only to bust, but I have also run into a WALL of bigger pockets when I made a good push Pre flop or getting the calls I want where I have my opponent dominated but he hits his kicker or flush or some obscene straight.
Mentally I'm trying to focus on MY bad plays and see where I can correct but I was wondering how those of you who have taught me so much handle a rough patch where the bad beats take a hard swing your way. I knwo we can ask for nothing more than to get these calls everytime, but what do you do to get mentally straight and focused again on your game? I know I should just walk it off but it's seeming to extend longer than any before and I want to get past it with my head right.
I think I may be getting into too many races, getting too anxious to get my stack in pre flop and not being aggressive enough post flop. But I am still analyzing and still not playing my A game.
Criticism and advice both welcome.
