Enjoy yourself

When I talk to my Grandpa it is always about 1 of 2 things: poker or football. Seeing how Michigan is pwning the Big Ten and my high school missed the playoffs I don't really need football discussion but lately poker has been a bit of a grind so I was just telling him about how I've been running poorly and switched games for a while. He then hit me with some advice that I hadn't really considered.

"To me it sounds like you aren't having fun any more. Make the game fun again."

I haven't ran much better the last few days, but it sure has been a hell of a lot more enjoyable. I have a new tactic where I don't check my account balance during/after a session. I also have been really focusing and giving each hand my full concentration. The change of game definitely helps my concentration because PLO has so many interesting situations it really keeps me on my toes. I could post 10 HH's a day on The Cooler where I had no idea what the correct play was. PLO allows me to play a little bit more by feel than I do in NLHE.

Looking forward to playing some serious hands in the coming weeks and helping to get the Michigan Poker League up and running.

Hit the tables and have some fun.
