I thought I'd come back and talk about my results.  I did take 10 days.  I didn't play a single hand from the frustrating night on the app until last night's homegame.

I spent some good time with my Jonathan Little videos, just watching and thinking.  I didn't take notes, but tried to keep things in mind.  I think thinking longer before acting was helpful.

Last night I felt really good going into the game, and really good after.  I felt like my situational awareness was really good.  Most of my decisions seemed right, and the majority paid off.  I didn't play a ton of hands, but I did play them well.  I made a triple barrel bluff that I believed to be the smart play, and it was.  Even though I was playing against someone who's never played with us, I felt I knew where I was at in the hand.  My bluff was with purpose.  It told a good story, and to the rest of the table (those not in the hand) they seemed to think I had it.  Oddly enough, even though new guy kept calling, he had nothing.  We both just had K high, but I had him out kicked and took the pot early in the SNG.  I got away from a couple hands, based on reads and range though, and I think I was right.

The only hand I wished I played differently was my bust out.  We were 3 handed (in the money and POY points).  The SB limped to me in the big.  I had 9T and considered pushing, as I was pretty short, but decided to check and see.  The flop was 238 and went check check.  The turn was a T and the SB bet, and I shoved for about double his bet.  He called, and had 23.  I didn't get the river and recouped my investment.  Had I been aggressive preflop, I might have picked up his limp and positioned myself better to place higher.

The break was WONDERFUL for my mindset. I need to stay in tune with myself and do it as necessary.
