Worst session in terms of attitude since restarting this blog.... I could just feel something wasn't quite there but played anyway as if to prove the point. What followed is an object lesson in not concentrating, forgetting to time on decisions, failing to heed RE and completely forgetting my cbetting strategy.

I'll show some of the worst ones, even if at the time I thought I had 'reads':

Hand 2: what I hate about this is that it's straight after I lose a pot and I'm obviously steaming.... I usually make the reverse true and super tighten up for a bit

Hand 3: Just the wrong wrong wrong move against the wrong wrong wrong villain. He gives money away, there's just no need for this. It's not clever and I literally did it to satisfy the degenerate in me......

So, to session 21. I need to remember to time on all hands, to get my concentration back, to play solidly but aggressively, to avoid RE, to remember cbetting strategy and to think properly about villain tendencies....

I'm just going to make it 45 minutes or so (then need to eat), and review it after that. Think my attitudes spot on today even if after a day of walking I'm tired and a little hungry....
