Re: The Sucker Project 1.0
[ QUOTE ]
I'm beginning to believe that the 'tear down everything you know and rebuild' approach should be a quarterly exercise for all players. At least semi-annually. I think it's healthy. As long as you don't tear down the good parts, of course. [/ QUOTE ] This is the most +EV thing I ever do. It's usually immediately preceded by an hour long session of crying and throwing pillows against my couch..."Ooh, I am really hurting the couch, take that!!" I love poker...

Re: The Sucker Project 1.0
This is almost sort of what UMTerp does every 10k or whatever...I wonder if there *is* merit to revitalizing your game through a cyclical dropping down.

You know, I raise these hands from x position at y levels. I push in this spot. I reraise this hand vs. this position, etc. I believe in having a firm starting ground. This keeps me from some of the prolonged losing streaks I've seen on these boards (I've really only ever had one bad one, just one losing month (and not much) in two years of play). Then, you adjust this standards based on opponents, table image/flavor, and stacks.

Re: The Sucker Project 1.0
Good luck, SS.
Switching to a new format can sometimes aid in getting rid of old stigmas of the correct way to play. for example, if you're used to playing party (10 person, 800/1000 starting chips), maybe you could switch to pstars (9 person, 1500 starting). It forces you to make adjustments, so getting the mindset of starting from square one might be easier to do. Maybe not, but I thought I'd throw that suggestion out there... >>>ZIPPPY

Re: The Sucker Project 1.0
I really appreciate all of the suggestions for time off, switching things up etc..
I have taken time off, but I can only slack so much. There comes a time when you must face things even when you don't want to. Now is that time for me. I may reconsider swithing formats, but not until after I give this a solid try. What I need to help on my game, not a new game. I am at the tail end of my BR... I can't afford to experiment or take large blocks of time off. The world spins and it requires money for each orbit. I am short stacked and on the bubble. It is time to steal , not be passive.
