Have you ever made mistakes and know exactly what the problem is and how to solve it but you keep making the same mistakes over and over again. That is precisely what I am going through right now. The same theme everyday, I play the best I could and build such a nice stack, and even in some of my tournaments luck is right by my side, but yet I get to the final table or close to it and I choke. I start making really bad plays that cost me my tournament life and tons of potential money. It literally makes me disgusted at myself for making such bad plays and especially when I work so hard to get that far, to blow it all on one play. My problem is that I'm overly aggressive in the deep stages of a tournament, especially if I'm one of the chipleaders. I find myself trying to force the action which back in the day I used to just wait for it to present itself to me and I'd capitalize on it. Hence, the results I'm outputting now as opposed to a few months back at the end of 2008. If anyone was there to witness my late stage blowups today, I am genuinely sorry and please don't follow in my footsteps. I know what has to be done and I'm going to apply it in my next session and all my sessions to come. A good friend told me today that maybe the cause of me playing like this is because I "over work" myself and I should take a break. Unfortunately, I can't take a long break because there's plenty of things to pay for but I have decided to take most of the day off tomorrow and only play when I'm in the right mindset. Plus, I have a few errands to run anyway so it'll be really beneficial to get my mind off poker even for a few hours and come back later to play the evening tournaments.
