Perhaps I push too hard and focus on too much too soon but I've always done that in areas I want to excel in and I think it's no coincidence that I achieved those goals.
i couldnt agree more. i have the same problem in tourneys. i always look back at what busted me, and think, "i pushed too early and unnecessarily there."

i hope you didnt take that the wrong way. i was just saying that "shit happens." i didnt think it was a "whine." i thought you were upset for the wrong reason. you made the right decision, and got outdrawn. simple as that. it was more congratulatory that you made the right call, and to remind you to not get yourself "down/bummed" when you were right.
