The steadily climbing graph, previously published, has taken a worrying downward trend in the last 3.5k hands. I wish I could report that it was all down to variance, bad beats, suckouts, coolers, cold decks or any other reason beyond the the control of a mere mortal... but alas, I fear that it is largely down to my old bad habits rearing their ugly heads.
On the plus side... I am still nicely up on my original $500 deposit, to the tune of $236 won, plus a total of $97 rakeback ($62 for 15 days in March and $35 so far in April).
I think part of my problem is playing too many tables at once, for too long, unfortunately my ageing brain just doesn't really cope with multi-tabling 6-max tables for hours on end. I can just about cope with three tables but four is too many and I now realise that 90 mins is about the limit of my attention span.
So, from now on a session will be three tables for 60-75 mins, 90 mins max if I'm going well and there is some easy money at the table... on days when I've been at work just one session and on days-off no more than three sessions but with at least 2hrs break between them.
I think I got a bit carried away with the success of the first three weeks and started pushing the sessions too far and playing tired, in my race to $1000 and the move up to NL50... lesson learned - there is no need to rush; be disciplined and play properly, the money will come!
