Feelin so high ...

Was up a few hundred the last few days but the last day hasn't been too good and it got me wondering about how to improve my game further.

I've played vs people from all corners of the globe on all sorts of different sites and see a lot of people who just don't tilt. Some people just don't seem to have moments of madness where they spew off a buy-in for no apparent reason. In contrast i'm quite adept at this. So i think it's time to change this bad habit.

Over the last day i lost the profit i made in the 2days previous but looking back on my stats my play didn't change too much at all. The big difference though was in the sessions over the last day i've played whilst distracted and when tired - i used to think it was ok playing when not feeling at my best but in todays games every edge is vital.

Now the aim is to only play when i'm on my 'A' game.

Tommy Angelo is a poker pro and psychologist he strongly advocates making priorities off the felt to aid you on the felt. For example he says sleeping well, taking breaks, focussing fully etc. should be made as strong a priority as making money.

So to try this out i'm going to set my alarm every morning for 10am ! Without an alarm i rarely wake before mid-day so getting into a morning routine should be good. Also going to do an hours daily exercise and maybe try out some yoga which i've been wanting to do for a long time.

A feel good tune i found on my ipod the other day (random) is So High (Martin Roth remix) by Starchaser - this youtube version is 2mins longer than the one off itunes and the quality is a bit tinny compared but as one of the comments below the vids says, if you don't like it "Fuck the song Look at her!"
