Ok this week has been by far the most unusual week I have ever had in poker, I was out of town for most of the weekend got back saturday very late at night, so this all started sunday. I played sunday my usual game PL200, I won the most ever 1200, but I just didnt feel like I was playing my best, I felt I was playing average or even below average, but caught an insane rush of cards the likes of which I had never seen.
Anyway monday, I play again, I play like crap and I mean just terrible I am getting bad beat a lot, but I always get bad beat a lot, and it never slowed me down before so I am obviously stinking up the place. Anyway I lose 200, im pretty pissed at myself for sucking so much, so I decide I am going to take a day off to cool off.
Tuesday I wasnt planning on playing, so I didnt play on party, but I did play a few tourneys on stars, I thought I was doing great in them(I Played 2), but I lost in horrible bad beat fashion in each, to a 2 and 3 outer respectively, but I tried not to care since I am not a tourney player, but all the loses did was stop me from cooling off, it was like well damnit even here.
Anyway wednesday, I played again, sucked ass again and got bad beat as usual, but I was just lacking aggression and it was just me playing poorly in general, lost 100. Thursday I played again I won 200 played pretty much average at least, not my A game, but at least enough to win, I did make a great call, so there was some flashes of good play in between me sucking.
Friday, I won 100, but I screwed up bad in two calls and they cost me about 40 each, so I should have won close to 200. Once again my crap play screwed me.
Ok heres a couple of things I noticed that seem to be screwing me,
1. I rarely think about decisions, I make them extremely fast.
2. I am having a hard time keeping the focus I dont know why, probably cause I watch tv while I play 2 tables.
3. Also I know what the right play is, but I am too insecure to raise with crap and take the pot away from weaklings I know will fold as soon as I hit the raise button.
Thats all I can think of, I dont know its just a weird week I guess. On the bright side I did have my best day ever, on the bad side I did suffer my worst bad beat ever, I was over 97% to win on the flop and I lost. So its been the weirdest week ever.
I dont know what to do right now, to take a few days off? To keep playing? I dont know its weird. Also I am gone all day tomorrow out of town maybe that will help, but who knows. I am just confused more than anything right now, dont really know where to go from here, I mean should I take a break? Play through, rambling, sorry, anyway any comments would greatly help. Sorry forgot to say the problem is I keep playing like crap and dont know how to stop it, sorry about that.
