Work on zen meditation and learning to understand how to be a better player, especially emotionally.

If you were being serious about this, is there a certain book you are reading about this type of thinking and meditation? I'd be interested if you've got a reccomendation.

Rory gave me a link (PM me if you want it or AIM me, my name is entityat), and I'm reading Zen and the Art of Poker (kinda bad, but got some ideas) and am hoping to read Zen and the Art of Archery soon. I think my game is solid enough that as my bankroll increases I'll be able to do better, but I need to get over my attachment to results, bigtime, and just play pure poker. I'm nowhere near there yet.

About a week ago, I lost a big pot on the river that I might've won if I would've raised the flop. I swore, punched my file cabinet, fell out of my chair and hit my ass on the hardwood floor. Bruised my tailbone. Got reminded of that hand every time I was on the can.

Goal #1: Take my beats (good and bad) like a man.

She's way out of your league dude! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Just kidding...good luck with your goals, though I think it has been mentioned numerous times that setting a dollar amount that you want to win is usually a bad idea. Play well and let the cards fall as they will.

your first post sounds a bit strange. i think that's why the comment was posted.

your plan is much more solid than i expected after reading your first post. i think that will be the impression of most other readers as well.

1.) Improve enough to beat 2/4 (or just come out of small starting downswing)
2.) Review hands once a week at least
3.) Start posting and replying to threads
4.) Find someone to share hand historys with to review each others hands
5.) Read Middle Limit and HEPFAP
