Well today started a new week and things have been going pretty well so far. This probably has a lot to do with no having put in a session yet. I woke up at about 5PM today since I've been on a horrible sleep schedule due to running bad and really trying to play and read a lot along with watching videos. Anyways I woke up and was asked/told that my buddy got 4 tickets to the Bucks game this Saturday. Usually this isn't much to get excited about but its against the Celtics and probably the only game I'd really want to go see. So I'm pretty pumped about that as the tickets are in the 8th row and I don't have to pay **** for them. Other then that I just got done eating steak and lobster that my dad cooked up as a late birthday dinner as we didn't do much for that 3 weeks ago.

Poker...2008 was going great, I pretty much rededicated myself to studying and putting in a lot of hands. I started 8+tabling 100NL and was cruising along making a few cash outs to pad the bank account and get a nice roll for 200NL. I had a lesson with Craig probably 3 weeks ago and I feel it went really well and he opened up my eyes to my nittyness. I was cruising through the end of February and it turned to March and **** hasn't been right since. My last 1/2 session I played was really unfocused. I just started playing along with this like 60/8 drooler and kept iso'ing with **** and never really adjusted. That along with the realization I still had to pay taxes I've dropped back to 100NL for the time being. So I'm taking like 2/3 of my money out of Stars and grinding for a bit.

In the last few days I've done a lot of reading and reflecting on my game and I suppose it isn't as strong as I thought. Sure I've been making money mainly just due to not making as many mistakes as others at the levels I'm at. There are a lot of spots I could get myself out of if it were only for a little more discipline. Playing 100NL and even 200NL sometimes makes me kind of toss money in the pot with this or that due to probably playing like live $500 buyins or even gambling far higher amounts on basically coinflips back in my casino whoring days. This shouldn't affect what I'm currently trying to do which is just playing solid poker and moving up. No matter whats in my account I'm not trying to move up unless I feel like ready in one way or another to move up. Here's two posts from 2p2 in the last week that I think can definitely help anyone.

The second one I used to kind of laugh at the mention of TAGfish but until reading it and kind of having in the back of my head while playing, I think some of the tendencies do have a habit of popping into my head.
