Ok. First of all, everyone go read stickboney's blog entry. its the entry on march 10th. its a very useful post. link to his site is on the right of my page or goto www.xanga.com/cribby23

anyways, today i was under the weather but i played anyway. i was not focused and my results showed. i made some pretty stupid plays. i broke even at the end but i should've been up given my cards. pretty frustrating as i ended the session early since i was really not in it. later tonight i was still feelin a lil under the weather but better, so i decided ya kno, i gota play some hands. i made sucha good decision by just browing thru stickboney's blog and what he said really got to me. i then took a shower, cleared my desk, and sat down to play some very good solid AND focused poker.

I really think that when you focus, you play much better and ur results/winrate will show by itself. I played an excellent session. Made very few mistakes and some very solid plays. Came out a 4.5 buy in winner tonight. moral of the post is to always stay focused and if you find yourself not focusing, then stop and don't play until you recoup yourself.

I also, I added a pic of patrik antonius because he is my biggest poker idol. The reason being is that this guy has it all. he's tall, good looking, athletic, rich, drives an aston martin vanquish, destroys the highest limit on FTP, can get any girl he wants, his gf is hot, tremendous respect from everyone, considered by many THE best NL hold'em player in the world, lives in the bellagio, AND holds titles to EPT. This is exactly what kind of accomplishment i'm trying to look for and this is exactly what i want to do with poker, is to achieve the above results. this is why he's one of my biggest idols in poker and i'm gona try very very hard to one day be like him. that it all
