Default Re: Don\'t think I can beat 1/2.

You need to find a way to get the money out of the picture, and just focus on the hand, period.

If you're making mistakes and talking yourself into doing things you're not supposed to be doing, then it is a form of tilt, IMO, and it is probably money-based.

Remember, the bad decisions that you're making are the exact ones we force people to make when we play correctly. Essentially, you're being trapped by that which you know the most.

Take the money out of it, play the hand, and make good poker decisions.

I took the money out of my equation when I found I was focusing on it a bit much by setting myself a hand goal. I never really completed the hand goal itself, but the main reason I was doing it was to get to 1/2, and I'm there now, tearing up the place. I've been running real g00t.
