2 tabling

i've been 2 tabling the last couple nights and i find i do focus more but also at the same time i haven't really been getting into many interesting situations since very few hands are getting played.

i've played around 2k hands but to tell the truth im not sure how much im up or down. thats because im no longer checking the cashier or hem after my session to see the $ result. instead i've removed the $ earned and bb/100 stats from hem so i can concentrate on playing my best and letting the money fall where it may. this goes hand in hand with another thing i've been doing lately which is not analyzing hands played until after the session. i'll often play a hand and start wondering if it was a bad or good stack off and what i should have done different. during this time im not concentrating on the hands im playing and im also beating myself if the play turns out to be -ev. so lately once the hand is over its over, i tag it using the hem hud feature for later review, take notes if necessary on my opponent and clear it from head until my post session review.

all these little mental things seem to be improving my mood and enthusiasm during play and i think will do a lot of good in furthering my developement. i'll probably check my balance and winnings/loses at the end of each month as long as i feel something horrific isn't happening and im no longer rolled for a certain level.

i do know though that im down a bit to start off because my first 2 tabling session was a disaster and i dropped $700 in 300 hands with most of it coming from a horrible river call very deep.

tomorrow is my b-day and it looks like im going to the casino to play a nice long 1/2 session and drink lots of pints. i will play tonight but i think i'll probably go back to 3 or 4 tabling since 2 tabling is not getting me thinking too deeply.
