I had points where I did something stupid - I'd write it on an index card near my desk and I taped it to the front of the desk so I see it -

1. - No more A/rag when I'm still functional (10-20BB) - it is always dominated when I play it out of position and I'm never safe when I hit the flop - it's great for stealing blinds and 3-4xBB, but it's stop being my all-in semibluff

2. - overbetting and not letting my opponents bluff enough - I'm always aggro when I play right now - always betting or folding, not trapping or slowplaying, and it's costing me chip equity - when I get repopped to 100 when I have AA, my first instinct is to push, and maybe a smaller reraise will get a call heads up which will probably not be dangerous for me -

and for some reason, I thought when I made a monster (like a set) I should play it the same way - aggressive and almost overbetting lately.

I now vary my play with the monsters - check the turn or river if I think I'm gonna bet a bluff thrown at me - might as well - it'll probably be more then I'd bet anyways - that's as much as the guy wants to risk - well, I'll usually min-raise his bluff [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] - basically, I need to play in such a way as to induce bets into my monster, and I was trying to disguise my play, but if I do this only occasionally, I AM disguising it - so that's ok too - I tend to play AK the same way if I missed both the flop and got a free turn card [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

my previous mentality is I gotta play this aggressive and not give a tell in my betting patterns whether I missed or hit - and I'm doing that, but occasionally checking the misses and the monsters is nice variance too -

truth is, I'm scared to death of getting sucked out on and I need to overcome that to risk winning more chips -

3. - multitabling $20 SNGS - I had a point where I played 4 in a row and got 3 2nd's - that's unacceptable - I should have gotten at least one win and probably 2 - and because they were all started at the same time, I couldn't focus enough on one player - I can get away with it at the $10 level, but they're tougher HU at the $20 - and that's where I have to be the best -

so no more multitabling 4 SNG's unless they're $15 or less [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
