Another post reminded me of this thread today. In answering it, I think I also answered my own thread. So here's today's salsa4ever, responding to the the salsa4ever of 18 months ago.
Keep your focus and your discipline. For now, don't worry about your "unskillful play". Keep winning, keep building. You ARE learning. By playing "unskilfully" you're learning some of the most important skills that will carry across all the games - table selection, discipline, not chasing shit hands, emotional control, bankroll management. These same skills will help you whether you play NLH, PLO8, Stud8, HORSE or Razz. Whereas learning to make "moves", is not only counterproductive when you haven't mastered those skills I talked about beore, and will not transfer across games.
Nowadays I just pwn my chosen game (PLO and PLO8). But it's a process. You can't get to zenlike ownage right away you gotta build it slowly. I couldn't be "good" like I am today without all those nights spent being "less bad".
