Welp,

I fixed a few things that were really bothering my game. I moved my router so I can plug in directly to the ethernet. The faster response time really helps my concentration. I made sure my dog was all set to go, and did a few chores so the wife would was in a good mood before my session. All those little things can take away from my concentration. I also played some black eyed peas during the session. Im not really a fan, but its good poker playing music. Other good poker playing music includes system of a down, rage against the machine... music that isnt so good is chill music like dave matthews or pink floyd. I need something that keeps me on edge/aggressive. Also sitting forward in my chair is big as well.

I played 1/2 NL tables, 1/2 PL tables on holdempoker. I actually made 4 buyins in 350 hands on NL, and lost 3$ on PL. So I played 24/10 overall. Holdempoker crashed on me twice. Not sure if thats their way of getting back at me for playing 8 tables (they only specifically allow 4). Or if the software is just bad. My computer is brand new, and has 1gb ram. I dont think its a hardware issue.

Anyone else have little rituals/tricks they do before their sessions??
