Concentration

It's a Funny thing that...

Sunday 13th 8pm - £30 Freeze Out.

I lasted all of 30 mins in this, my fave tournament!!

My heart was just not in it, I remember getting ready then getting in the car to get to the Gutshot, on the way there I had one arse jump out in front of me while I was doing 50+mph up to Clapham, then when I got to Elephant and Castle I heard screams and some guy was out cold on the floor, it looked like he was dragged from his car that was still running at the lights.

Then I get to the Gutshot and I await the usual suspects and then some guy challenges me to a game of chess, now I couldn't be arsed with this but played anyway and lost. Normally that would bother me but I didn't care.

Then the tournament started, in the 1st half an hour I played 1 hand and won, then I got KQ late position, I call and everyone folds to one caller.

Flop K 8 J, he bets 500. I call. J he bets 500, I call.

10 - He moves all in and I call. And of course turns a Jack.

But I didn't care, for some reason I just could not be arsed, and even now I can't be. There is the Fourm tournament tonight and guess what, I can't be arsed. I lost $30 last night in a cash game and again I can't be arsed, I don't care.

What is wrong with me!! - I think I'm pokered out.

Suggestions?!

What is wrong with me!!

So.. What next

Ok so my post about my final table finish wasn't riveting, but in the words of Teddy KGB "I feel so unsatisfied" I want to go again, I'm eager to do what I did on Saturday a hundred times over. I had visions of being at the final table of the WSOP. I tried to play online but I can't concentrate, knowing I will have to start again with my tatics at all levels, making moves.

I know I will be disapointed as well if I don't make the final table again. Is that the next phase I must deal with? This is going to get worst before it gets better.

Two words come to mind. Patience and Discipline

To the WSOP
