I’ve been playing poker since 2019, so I’ve had enough experience to recognize that this isn’t a lack of understanding of the game.
On your profile you only list your username on WPT Global, and you have only been playing there for 4 month. So obviously you must have been playing on other sites most of the time. However from what I can see on
sharkscope about your WPT Global account, its pretty clear, you are not doing any of those things, that I wrote might be helpfull.
You have 91 active days and 211 games played, so you are clearly playing one or at most two tournaments at a time rather than a whole session. And out of your 8 last games, which is all, I can see, because you did not opt in to Sharkscope, there are 7
freerolls and 1 $1.1 MTT. So from your game selection it very much looks like, you dont have any bankroll but basically play freerolls and then occationally spend some of your freeroll winnings on a regular game.
Like on 9. august 2026 you won $5.73 in a freeroll, and then the next day you played that $1.1 MTT, where you ended up finishing 17/226 for a profit of $5.96. And finally 7 out of these 8 tournament had fields of more than 100 players, which makes it difficult to reach the final table and any of the significant prices. Although you did actually manage to finish second in the freeroll, where you cashed.
My point here is, that getting good at poker require a serious amount of grinding. Its not enough to have played for many years, if you play in this way, where you only play one or two games per day, and most of them are freerolls. And by getting good at poker I dont just mean the technical side but also the mental side of the game like controlling your emotions, when you lose a big pot deep in a tournament.
So you need to play with a bankroll and put in some real volume. And if you have been trying with tournaments since 2019 without much success, then maybe try cash games instead. The advantage of cash games is, they offer total flexibility, as you can sit down and stand up, whenever you want to, and you can play as many tables, as you are comfortable with, up to at least 6 on most sites.
Then if you have success with cash games and manage to build a bankroll of at least $500, then you can consider to go back to tournaments and play sessions of $2.2-5.5 MTTs playing at least 3-4 tables at a time. Then you will probably find, that it comes completely naturally to not care so much about, what happen in any single one of them, because you also need to focus on the other.
