Re: How do I put in more hours/week. (Long/Introspective)
Bobby,
Good post.
1. I play short sessions. I usually play 1-2 hours at a pop. I have a very short leash(too short) and I suspect that I mistake taking bad beats+losing in unavoidable situations for tilt and quit sessions early.
2. I miss 0-1 days/week, but I often miss sessions. When I miss a day, it's usually because I have underwent some hardships during the week. I suffer from a semi-conscious belief that I am entitled to win every time I play and so I become frustrated when I lose and my results do not reflect my self-image. This leads to taking sessions/days off inappropriately under the guise of "playing my best at all times" when I should be playing through hardship and developing mental toughness.
I know I have quite a lot of psychological baggage for someone who has been playing limit hold'em for a year, but all these problems are correctable.
