So my third day in a row playing 50 NL Heads-Up concluded with me not wanting to play that game for quite a while. Coupled with Wednesday’s 1 buy in day, I had another 1 buy-in day yesterday through 4 hours and ended up losing 5 today in another 4 hours. For the most part it was my own fault why I lost but after the session is over I realized I hate my life.


OK, so that’s a little over-dramatic but I mean I was loving life November 30 and now 4 days later I’m not having fun? The only thing that changed was starting to play 50nl HU! Honestly, I’ve lost all my confidence playing HU Cash right now; I thought I had a ton of confidence playing this level but that is not the case. The lack of confidence is costing me my time, money and mental state that doesn’t make any sense for me to continue.


I’ve actually willed myself to put time in yesterday and today by putting in 2 separate 2 hour sessions and I feel like this has worked out well. If I can find this motivation for full ring then I should be OK and if I get bored I’ll look for ways to keep myself interested. Maybe I’ll add another table here or there or whatnot but right now me having no feeling about how I play (full ring) is better than being negatively effected (heads up). I’m not giving up HUSNGs but I don’t see myself grinding them for sometime anyway.


Luckily its the beginning of the month and I have time to turn around and avoid wasting anything as we go further. I’ll have to restudy some FR and hopefully by the end of a couple weeks I’ll be back in the groove of things.
