i feel like i play pretty good poker but as of right now im breaking even for the past 5-6k hands. This is due to the fact that I'm making stupid small bets and bleeding chips across 6-9 tables at a time. The huge hands that I win are basically just enough to keep me at even money.
I play solid across a few tables but then ill have a brief lapse of concentration and piss away a buy in by making a bad call or raise. I'm not losing money because of it but I'm not gaining either. I feel like my profit margin would be alot higher if I could keep from making those stupid mistakes(Chasing draws, calling with top pair when im behind, etc.)
I also think i have a tad bit of ADD because after awhile I sort of tune myself out of the cards. Could that be a cause of it or do you guys get like that too?I've tried running 4 tables or less but i get bored with it at 4nl and try to play too elaborately and end up losing more than i wouldve by firing bluffs at calling stations and what not.
Any advice from anyone? I feel like maybe if i move up to 10nl and only play 2 tables at a time it would make me focus alot more because more is at stake. My BR is at $105. So at 5% i could buy in for around $5 and go from there. Bad idea? I'm still trying to figure this out. These minor lapses in my mind are the bane of my poker existence. I feel like if i could work them out I could be playing at a much higher level
