Message: [QUOTE="dexon303, post: 2615757, member: 69472"] It will help a lot if you study the mental game a bit more, there are some concepts you have to understand when it comes to how learning works, how performance over time works, and how your brain reacts to certain things. The thing is when you make a call you know you shouldn't have made, you think you know the correct way to play the hand. But what it is is your mind is saying it needs more proof in that spot, you have not done enough work for your mind to really know that you should fold in that spot. You should also understand, that for any performer in any competitive environment, there is a natural fluctuation in the level of performance, sometime you play your best, sometimes you don't, it's the way it goes for anyone who plays often enough, and not only when they feel tip top and 100% perfectly. You need to learn to accept: #1 Variance in your performance, it WILL happen #2 Poker is about learning, if you spotted something you did wrong (a leak, mistake), you have a great opportunity to do more work on that particular aspect, you review more hands on a daily basis that all go about these spots, and that is the way you train your mind to really know better next time. #3 Accepting both these things, will take a lot of pressure of your playing, and it frees up mindspace you can use on your decision making (because you aren't frustrated, or get emotional from not performing your absolute best all the time), thus will automatically also increase your level of performance overal. Hope it helps (p.s. if you always feel bad after feeling poker, no matter how you performed in quality or results, you are probably better of like people mentioned before to do something else with your time/for money) [/QUOTE]
