the poker third eye. and good days, bad days.
hopefully this is the right forum for this.
OK i have been playing tons of poker for about 3-4 years. mostly hold em, mostly no limit, never anything higher than 400 nlhe on a regular basis. for the most part, 6 handed. in the last 6 months or so i feel like my no limit game has gotten exponentially better. as time goes on i start to get more and more aware of something i call the "poker third eye" basically a very keen awareness of where i stand in a hand, but more importantly where other player(s) stand. obviously i can really execute some great poker when i am feeling this. unfortnately this does not come to me every day i need it. id say more than half the days, i can get in this zone, and fairly quickly. some days i cant at all, and my games suffer as a result. some days, i get in this third eye zone, and eventually slip out of it, and my game suffers. now heres the problem - in a nutshell. even when i am pretty sure i do not have this third eye working, i am too stubborn to quit and go watch tv, or do whatever, go for a jog, read a book. i think part of it is pride. another part of it is i am a greedy bastard and i want to spend every free moment i have accumulating wealth. can anyone relate to this inability to walk, even when you know youre not playing at 100%? i figure this is probably something i will grow out of, just as i grew out of going on tilt over dumb stuff like bad beats. but in the meantime, it still sucks a lot and i would like to hear what anyone has to say on this. thanks!
