Changing my game

Some changes are good

<<<< some are not!

I feel now that a change in my game is needed, to do this I'm going to ask my readers for a few pointers. I'm wondering what allows all of you to play the best poker possible. What allows you to concentrate fully on the game at hand and have 100% focus when needed. My play is lacking, i can feel i am just another fish playing low stakes and not even excelling at that!!


My play is going downhill apart from when, now and again, i get the occasional outburst of pure genius shown in tournaments mostly.


Can i get some feedback please:


Is there anything you do before you play that helps you to concentrate?? do you listen to music whilst playing? are you talking on msn while playing? multi tabling??


Any poker books you recommend on poker strategy? any help to try and improve my game is gladly accepted, cheers

I Cannot Multi-table

First of all i just wanted to mention the bloggerment. I came back from the pub sitting with 1.1k in chips. I got lucky against mair, sorry about that. And soon lasted until the final table where it got to 4 players left. It folded to me in the SB, with rob in the BB, who was being quite tight i figured he was going to pass a lot of hands here, I pushed with a low ace and he quickly calls with QQ :( out i go.

After that i decided to multi-table a few SnG's and a few ring games. I did absolutely appalling in cash and soon went down about 5 buy ins, this bad luck/bad play continued right through until i decided to quit there on the cash table front. My ass got saved when i cashed in 2nd place in the last SnG i was in and brought me back up to just about even for the night.

Im going to play a few mtt's now and i hope to do well, because i could do with a decent result..its been a while and I'm due lol.

Few First Hours

I hit the tables late this afternoon and played some long hours right through late into the evening. I have played many SnG's and a few tournements aswell. I think i cashed overall in just 2 sit and go's out of something like 10, which aint to good, im not happy with that at all. As for the tournements, well they didnt go to well either. I didnt manage to cash in any despite reaching near the bubble in one of them.

So far, i must have only played 7 hours of poker at the most but ive seen enough cold decks to make an eskimo freeze, suffered so many bad beats to last me a few weeks and im just so sick of poker already. Also, i got so bored playing which i dont think ive ever felt before. I usually love playing!

Even though i have had some rubbish results in the past few hours i managed to place 1st in the last 18 player SnG i was in and that brought me break even to my starting roll (only $2 lost tonight) so its not all bad.

Back..

Hey guys! Im back blogging again. Still a lot a lot more poker to come from me.

Apart from the bloggerment, its been over two months since ive played poker and im not really sure how im going to get on, well no one does really but it seems all blank to me once again, much like it was when i started playing. This break, i think, will prove good for my results. Now all i have to do is try my best and hope i succeed.

My new strategy is to stay away from cash tables for the meantime and try to excel, at what i think my strength is, tourneys and multi table SnG's.

My first SnG on the first night back i managed to bag a 3rd place finish in a 18 player SnG, so started off on a good one. Thats all ive played tonight, hope to play again soon.
