Mediocrity

Today was another crappy day. Besides another dry run in cards, I did many things wrong. I stuck to single player tourneys and did poorly. Talk about autopilot. I have to stop playing Single Table Sit and Go's with the damn TV on. I could babble on about how many 50/50's I lost (and I probably should because it was rediculous), but I'll focus on the crap I can change.

I'll focus my next day and a half strictly on poker. I'll reread Slansky's NL Theory and Practice as I need a swift kick in the ass.

I've also decided I need a poker routine. 10-15 min prep time before each online session dedicated to reviewing my notes.... What's the use of playing for 6 hours if I'm just going to give away $200? As I'm just getting back into the mix, I need to keep my skills sharp and make sure I'm putting myself into a position to excel.

Unfortunately Poker Tracker only works for cash tables on Doyle's Room. No stats are collected on tournament players so I'm basing my reads on half ass information picked up during commercial breaks. This will change.....
