Ya, you´re def right about the AIEV stuff. I sure do take it just as something to make sure Im not an idiot phantasizing about being good when in fact his only skill is self denial (an option Ive been considering for a while now). If it wasnt for the AIEV stat Id have quit or moved way down a long time ago, but as long as Im getting the money in good there´s no point in moving down. As for moving down to gain confidence...I am already two stakes below what Ive been playing a year ago and I do feel confident in my game. Yes there are flaws and Im not dominating like crazy, but I dont think I could gain much from playing 25nl or 10nl. As for GS - I have a Leggo sub and can mooch BFP and CR off friends, so no point in that, but thanks for the tip.
My problem is just, that poker isn´t fun the way its been going for the past months. No question losing stretches are part of the game and Ive had more than one serious downswing over the past 3 years. This time however it´s been lasting effectively the entire year except the first 20k on FT in March/April. Im playing ultimately for the competition, I want to beat the people on my table and its hard to gain satidfaction from a win in theoryland. Its killing me and Im making more and more mistakes when Im getting frustrated. My poker mindset is no more "lets play some poker and beat the game!" but more like "you fuckers won´t get me down!". Not healthy.
