I think I'm just beginning to shake the "f-it, I'll push" tilt habit you're speaking of.

I won consistently for over a year playing mainly tournies, and about 8 months ago I started to leak, and it was definitely the "screw it, I'll push preflop."
I did it enough to go from leak to spew.

I finally started playing less and I think I've overcome this habit, but I want to stay on guard. I think I got into a rut where I'd been successful and just assumed I could play sloppy and still win, and I think I got somewhat bored with the poker, but I didn't acknowledge it until recently.

So far, what's worked best for me is taking more time off from poker. Occasionally playing much lower stakes and different games than I typically play. I found that playing some O8 and regular Omaha was a lot of fun, and improved my regular HE play.

Aren't all your problems the reason that 25NL exists?

You mean PTBB/100?
Why does it matter anyway in regards to my question?...I am in the green obviously [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I play about 25-30k a month.Making 15k on average per month on Nl500 (with rb and bonuses) really doesn't require you to be a poker genius.
