any comments much appreciated
Anyway back to the recovery . I have been reading loads of blogs , brian townsends in particular , as he seems to be on a downswing , losing 3 million is pretty big .
Then i got to reading some of the comments , Some of it good , some of it bad and i started to compare it to my downswing and thought that there must be similarities in the feelings . Obviously not the levels , but the feelings , dissapointment , anger , etc etc .
So some more thinking about how to recover , i read and re read some of the posts on more blogs . I put it down to confidence or lack of it , also lack of preparation and lack of concentration .These were the problems i had to solve !
So the last few days i have done the following . Reduced the tables i play from 4 to 2 . Watched some vids , I think trevrob of cr said he waches a vid before he plays
so i watched a brystmar vid . I spent more time selecting my tables . All in all i just slowed down a little , calmed down a little .
Once i get to my july starting position im going to have a break . Someone suggested a 4 day on 4 day off scenario to help . I think this may be a good idea . Maybe a 3 and 3 or even a 2 and 2 . I think fruity pro mentioned about the balance being right and for sure i know for many part timers it just isnt there .
Well more paragraphs than normal . see you at the tables

Iam on a pretty bad downswing myself, it fells like everytime i raise my hand iam beat before i start. Its hard and they make us play worse make bad calls, make silly mistakes etc. I think the trick to overcomethem is try to forget them , harder said than done i cant win with a set at the moment. 1 book i recommend to you is Zen and the art of poker , you might find it on ebay , if not you'll get it on amazon.Its a great book and works for tilt.
YOUR HANDS
Hand 1) Your 1st mistake here IMO is limping in 1st with 67s, Nice hand and all but you cant play these right unless your in position in multi way pots. You should be raising here PF if you want to play it. As played ill RR his 1$ bet more to stop the flush. Hes in the blinds so could easily have your 2pr beat but i think he has you on a pair 88 or that beacuse you limped in 1st. The A is a scary card but hes lead out then shown weakness with the A you should be betting here and maybey taking it. If he calls or raises you know he has a hand and can decide your action with ease. All in all a messy hand i think beacuse you limped.
Hand 2) I dont mind how you played it. I would make a note on ZEPY C bets 3$ with air.
Hand 3) Played perfect nice hand.
Hnad 4) I think id put him all in on the flop after his RR, you have any heart 9 + any Q 3 + any 9 2 = 14outs iam happy to put a shortstack in with that amount of outs. The call here makes your hand not as strong beacuse if the turn is a blank your odds of hitting are halved and if he has more money you cant continue here so your good hand is wasted aswell as some of your $ draws like this are really only good if you do the business on the flop.
Cheers for your comments on mine ill add you to my group!
