[ QUOTE ]
playing professionally, I am sure you have days/stretches where you simply get real lazy. This is one of my biggest problems right now. How do you force yourself to play when u are lazy? How do you keep your self fresh and ready to play? [/ QUOTE ] I learned the hard way that forcing yourself to play when you don't want to is going to end up a disaster. So don't do that. If I feel bored or lazy, I practice dancing or watch clips/movies. I also spend my weekends with friends and that helps a lot. [ QUOTE ] How do you handle your downsings? play throught them? or take time off? [/ QUOTE ] When I hit a downswing: (1) I move down in stakes where losses are less painful, and it's easier to beat weaker opponents, which helps regain confidence. (2) I play less tables and table select better. (3) I take time off. I've taken several weeks off before and every time I came back more focused than ever. (4) I buy stuff. I'm pretty superstitious in that I keep things the same if they keep working, and if they stop working, I change things up. In my last three downswings, I've bought a Macbook Pro, an Aeron chair, and a 30" monitor. These all drastically improved my poker playing environment. Also, sometimes I'll splurge to make myself feel better and I think it's okay. Like I'll get sushi or buy something expensive, and it'll give me a better perspective on things. I take a lot of satisfaction in knowing that I can afford stuff because of a game and I'll look at the things I've bought as like a measure of my success. [ QUOTE ] What your daily routine like during a "work" day? [/ QUOTE ] Wake up. Check AIM, email, 2+2, Digg, Youtube, Entensity, Craigslist, Fantasy Football, etc. Make sure my datamining machine is still running. Wash up. Eat something. Sometimes watch a poker video. Play. Take a break. Check previous sites again. Make fun of DF_Newb and costanza_g on AIM. Play. Take a break. Eat. Right now I'm looking for a car so if there's a car I like, I go and check it out. Play. Repeat playing and taking a break until it's time to sleep. Wash up. Make sure datamining machine is still running. Sleep. |

[ QUOTE ]
How do I win 7 SNGs in a row, that's just ridiculous. [/ QUOTE ] Gotta have skillz. I don't know, I think I'm better at HU than most people. My finish distribution seems to indicate that I play really aggro 5- and 6-handed, which would lead me to either bust earlier or have more chips on the bubble... and this might translate to a higher 1st place percentage, which would mean longer win streaks. I don't know, win streaks and finish distribution don't matter all that much. ROI is all that counts. |

[ QUOTE ]
graph of all your cash play ? [/ QUOTE ] I'm saving my lifetime graph for when I hit one million cash game hands, so pick one level (from .25/.50 to 5/10) at one site (Full Tilt, Stars, or Party) and I'll post the HM graph. |
