Agreed. One of my goals is to always be process/excution oriented instead of results oriented. If you get too results-oriented, you'll get more frustrated by the things beyond your control (when your bad swings occur), and that in turn works against you, and now infects your process - making it even less likely that you'll hit any results-defined goal. It's a catch 22 of sorts, b/c you really have to look at your (long-run) results to gauge how good your process is in a lot of respects, but the more you can take satisfaction in solid, patient, fight-like-all-heck in every SNG process, the better off you're going to be.

I think if you want to play 10,000 SNGs or whatever a year for the next many years, if you don't have a process-orientation, you're going to burn out real quick. A lot of posters that come through this forum (and often disppear) are a constant reminder of that fact. Sh-t happens, deal with it, and do your best from that point on. But...most people are always measuring their last result, and their emotional state reflects that hi or lo. As if this game weren't hard enough as it is...
