Nice post, it's in the favourites now. I think it's good on several levels but more than anything it's good as drives home the need for confidence in yourself and your skills to feel comfortable taking shots and not to play scared. It's amazing how the psychololgical side of the game is over looked.

Just wish I could play 20,000 hands in 2 weeks. Given my commitments it's more like 20,000 hands in 8 months!

bump b/c its not in the sticky.

Who's the arbiter of stickiness? I'd say this one is marginal.

And, having said that, I imagine BW will flog me in Round 2 of the HU tourney.

What do you do if you're pretty breakeven or even losing money against the TAGs and make all your money against horrible players?

I feel like the only reason why I win at the rate I do is table selection. As soon as the horrible players leave I find a new table.

So, effectively, I'm not confident against good players but I'm very confident that I can beat the limit. As you move up the players are a lot better...

Should I be focusing more on exploting the regulars? How did you get through this problem?

IDK if I agree with some of the stuff you said. I think that this has worked for you and that's great. However, I think these things are intertwined for you. The fact that you beat the game allowed you to be confident, but one needs confidence to beat the game?

I feel like you are linking these two due to your recent play. I've been told you're doing very well, and that's good to hear, but I have seen your confidence level shoot up as a result. What was there before your recent success?

I just feel like this is more something that you have found, but doesn't solve the issue that 95% of players experience when moving up, and that is the feeling of uncertainly wrt beating the next level. You can tell anyone "srsly you can do it be confident!!!" but I really doubt it does much for them until they play the hands.

EDIT: Also saying something like "oh well after you beat this limit for x bb/100 then you should either move up or just play more hands and beat it for more" doesn't sit with me; you imply that kind of success is expected.
