Forget winning and losing and just make good decisions.

Well how do you do that? When playing I check the cashier balance every 5th minute just to see how im doing. And when I see im down I start to chase the losses.

Also despite of my title I have played for a while as pro and im decent amount of money up from NL 400 - NL2000 and 10 20 - 100 200 fixed. Still every time I start losing I start doubting myself. And often it happens even before I start playing. So sick stuff.. why cant I just ignore the money while playing and worry about it just when not playing.

I say it all the time usually after I do something stupid. Then I get on with playing unstupid.

Oh, I thought from your OP meant you really couldn't beat the NL25s [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] and that it's no wonder you couldn't win MTTs. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]



Try Louise Hay's "How to Heal Your Life" in the abridged 2 tape set. It's all about stopping those kind of negative self-destructive thoughts.

Start by NOT looking at the cashier every five minutes.
