I few weeks ago I noticed that I have been way too results-oriented lately. Well, actually, I've probably always been way too results-oriented, but I feel like I've recently regressed a bit. I thought about it for a bit and decided that I seem to play my best poker when I am not at all worried about or keeping constant track of results. This led me to decide that I will refrain from looking at my bankroll until the end of the month, and just focus on playing solid poker. I actually started this a few weeks ago, and it seemed to help, so I will continue it until the end of the month. I also am not looking at monthly results/graphs until the end of the month because I tend to get tilted if I am not living up to my expectations. I am still looking at daily results and big pots played at the end of each session, but win or lose I am moving ahead to the next session/day without looking back.
Basically, I'm trying to go with the flow and play more in the moment each and every day. So far, it has had the effect of making more a lot more calm and focused when I sit down to play. I know that my main objective is to play my best each and every session, and even if I don't, I will put it behind me and try to do better next time. This is, of course, how it probably always should be.
So how big is my roll? Somewhere well over 40 buy-ins. How much am I up/down this month? I don't really know, and it doesn't really matter. How will I play tomorrow? As best I can.
