playing like shizzat

well i've continued to lose money at .50/1.00 to the point that i'm down over 18 buy-ins at like 6000 hands.

that's not good at all and i think it warrants a move back down to .25/.50 for the time being until i get my head screwed back on straight and start playing better.

i played about 1600 hands over the course of the weekend and lost $403. i was down more but won a bit back in the last couple hundred hands. i thought that i played decent but when i went through and did a thorough anaylysis of the hands in pokertracker i see that i'm playing like garbage. i kept a running total of $ that i lost due to poor play/tilt/lack of discipline. after reviewing all the key hands i basically gave away $503!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so if i played to my potential i would have been up a buy-in instead of down 4. and when i say potential i mean that i believe that i have a higher skill set than what i play at. for some reason my gametime decision making is lacking focus. always has and that's the issue i have to deal with. im also not saying my knowledge of pot limit omaha is vast or great but i think i have a better handle on it than most my opponents.

i played again last nite and ended up down $311 although i made about $250 dicking around at lunchtime playing 1/2 ha (1/2 pot limit holdem, 1/2 pot limit omaha). upon reviewing my play i once again gave away about $200 of the $311. it wasn't all bad though as i did lose the minimum on a couple of coolers.

i'll play again tonite and will most likely stick to .25/.50 and only 4 tables. i think anything more than 4 tables at once is severely lowering my level of play. i tend to add more tables to get more hands in since i don't play all that often but the quantity over quality scenario is certainly killing my EV.
