Something clicked for me last night

After realizing yesterday that I was doing something wrong, I did put the WWMD sticker on my monitor.  I did create the tag-cloud of maven training tips (I really had to filter down what I put on the list and still ended up with 30+ things!), too.  I blocked out ALL distractions, and focused on playing mistake-free poker.  The distractions over the past days were fewer than normal for me, but still far more than I realistically could handle obviously.


Well, it worked.  Two deep runs 11th/2700ish and 2nd/140ish for what was my biggest tournament cash -- never really cashed for more than $20 in small SNG's before yesterday because I was a cash game player and donked off 2 levels in!.


Best of all, I feel REALLY good about how I played, and "it" really clicked for me last night.  You know what I'm talking about... that feeling that you can actually do something and be good at it.  Sure, I have a reallllly long road ahead of me, and plenty of losses to suck up, but if I can play like I played last night, the wins will come.


See you at the final table! :)
