A frequent problem of mine aswell. I've mentionned it before.. adversity brings out the best out in me. When things go well.. ugh.. the overconfidence kicks in and tons of money ends up wasted.
Good luck Jack - whatever I may disgaree with about your posts here, you have a passion for learning that every single poster here should admire.
Thx man. Quite unexpected

Is it rude to ask what hit your confidence so badly? Especially as you were getting sick of the lower limits last tiem I read your posts
Yeah that's probably the problem. I see their mistakes etc, and it makes me dull and impatient and want to get in there and take their money asap. Ofcourse that's simply not how poker works. So I took a time-out and realized I actually did better before when I knew less about poker but simply stuck to some sort of "system" I had developed for myself. So I decided to go back to that point and start again.

(plus I needed the money so I didn't have the roll for 20NL anymore, but mostly the first thing)

Goodluck Jack. Im pretty sure everyone does it, and you seem to be on the right road. Its just the newbie circle of death....except you didnt go bust.
Luckily for me, when things go bad, my brain kicks into gear pretty quickly to figure out what's wrong
