Re: I think i might suck
[ QUOTE ]
I am playing 8 tables now. But i really don't think that has an effect since when i played 4 tables i would surf on the internet or watch TV while playing. I have made 1 small misclick over the 2500 8tabling STT:s i have played. I am thinking of cutting back to 4 tables, but then it would take forever for me to get data with any kind of statistical validity.

By replying, I'm risking you getting pissed off, but I think someone needs to be honest with you. The last sentence of the above quotation is a concern, as are the rest of your postings.
What are you trying to accomplish? You must be honest with yourself, and this need not be public, but it must be clear to you.
It appears to me that what is paramount to you is getting approval here. Who gives a damn about statistics if it affects your play? If you're good, you're good. Period. I'm impressed when someone posts their stats for 10k tourneys. I'm impressed someone has played that many. I'm not impressed that you are playing a lot so you can show how many you've played. It appears that the more you play, the worse you get. There is a correlation, believe me. Find it.
I can absolutely assure you, pergesu is correct. You couldn't play perfectly on a single table. No one can. You get bored? Figure out why. I like this game very much. It rarely bores me. If it bores me, I've played too much. I've found that when something bores me, I've stopped learning.
As always, Yoda rules. The answers you seek can only come from within yourself. No one here can look at what's going on in your head; no one can tell from your statistics and your hand histories what's going on in your mind. That's where you should start. If you know without a doubt your true self--what your motivations are and why you are doing what you're doing--then you should be able to find your answers. If you believe I'm full of it, I offer you a challenge. Play a month without reading or posting on 2+2 with a goal which does not involve playing 1000 tournaments. If you do not see a return to double digit ROI, then come back and start to work on why your play sucks.
Peer pressure, dude. No one is immune to that disease and few are aware they suffer it. That's what I think is your problem.
I should not post this, as no doubt it will piss you off, and may cause me further regret, but you asked for help and this is how I think I can help you. I hope you take it in this spirit. At least I didn't agree that you suck. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
