Hey all,got in from work psed off,and was on a loss from last night..did a few calm down things before i loaded poker,plan was make some small wins on cash side...
But was looking through tables and a bit empty and saw a guy on 10 dollar double up..thot was a mistake to join after i had butta
I just felt so in the zone...
Took over half an hour,he was no newbie even had 5 stars
But i really played,i mean really played...knew when he was bluffing,stealing,head was really in the game...but i had everything else off..was wiping bad day off mind

Just got me thinking,how big a price do mild distractions play?

A big one when you let them m8.The trick is don't let them become costly.Or get out when the getting's good aka when you say ''i should probably go before my A's get cracked by a bad call and i lose all my money''...or maybe i've just been running into donks again at the casino.Lucky ones,too.

Later m8...

I've gotten to the point where if I want to play poker AND do something else, I only play free side. I've been seeing a lot better results playing my A game no distractions on real money. I've been taking tourneys 1 hand at a time and can peg exactly where my few mistakes are and truly focusing on ring games. I decided to play a tournament 1 hand at a time and did really well. I can link my downfall to only 2 hands besides the one that busted me, an AQ beating my AK suckout about 2/3 through and a bad late position A5 heart semi bluff gone wrong. All in all it truly is amazing what seemingly small distraction can do.
