Default Re: Am I Cursed For 2nd?

without simply watching you play i cant pass any definitive judgement or advice.

however, i believe like most of poker, heads up play requires bags of confidence, of which you probably dont have with your play now.

i went through a streak where i just couldnt get the top spot. i tried as many strategies as i could think of.

what i did in the end was play something like 25 straight heads up sit and goes. i found a positive outcome over those games, and it did what i fundamentally wanted, it gave me confidence. note that the practice you actually get isnt directly comparable, due to blind differences, but it is still practice of a fine art that most people dont get a chance to do often enough.

in the 50 some matches ive had since, im getting first more than second and third (almost as much as put together).

i claim no miracle cure, but it helped me.
