Operation: Self Discipline

To an extent, of course it's the blinds. But is does inspire me to bluff more and play better postflop when I see mine nosedive some days.

I've been taking shots at 50nl as my roll approached 3k and things started out really rough. I played horrible (see garf earlier) and just couldn't get why I was struggling at what I consider my "home" stake. Well I was playing mindlessly...

And then the strangest thing happened. I did four things that have completely changed my poker game. First, I watched two videos of verneer (CR pro) playing some 25/50nl rush and just talking about hands. Then I sweated my coach, citizenwind. Then I started actually discussing hands with DC and DR, and providing some not terrible insight. Then I started putting people on ranges, and today I played what have to be the three greatest sessions I have ever played. I made one large mistake for 40bbs, but other than that, I kept my stack out of harms way all day long. 21 days to make a habit? Well, one down. I mean it's 25 and 50nl. It's really easy if you're alive and paying attention. I'm on pace for about 80k hands this month, but I'd really like that number to be higher. One thing I will not do is sacrifice quality for quantity. My br crossed 3k for the first time since I w/d down to before this blog, so I'm up 1200+ since then, all of the true profit coming from 25nl and RB from both 25 and 50.
