Grind Report: March 1, 2010

20-12 at the 57.50 turbos on PokerStars.
BR: $1453.64

Putting in this much volume, even 2-tabling, takes some effort and a reasonable amount of time.

Ideally, I'd like to find a way to get 35-40 games more quickly. I took lots of breaks/mini-review session today, as I'm not used to 2-tabling for so long. I'm going to aim for slowly increasing the continuity of my sessions, but take breaks the moment that I notice my focus, discipline, or emotional control starting to drift.

More and more I'm convinced that winning the mental game is ~95% of what it takes to be a winning player at HUSNG's (at least at the stakes I'm playing and below).

Until this year, I was a breakeven/losing player who couldn't crack the 22's, and the only real difference between now and then is that I have perspective and discipline/control now that I didn't then. My graph was one of slow and steady upward progress punctuated by sharp, sudden downswings. It's amazing what a drastic impact a simple change in mindset can have.
