While I have plugged most of the leaks in my tourney game, there is still one that will continue to be greater than that wall in China.
Disinterest. Maybe it's fatigue, I don't do much other than sit here all day and play poker, or yak it up here. Being West Coast, all the juicy games are not time friendly as much as for others.
Using yesterday as an example. At UB I got into the 80K sat, and won a seat into the 80K game that started at 6pm my time. When this started I had been playing mostly on (some off) for 6 hours already. For the first two hour I was fine, but somewhere in the back of my mind an 'Urgency' was brewing (Lost started at 9pm). I somehow let myself get disinterested in this game and allowed myself leeway which led to my doom. I'm sort of kicking myself in the head here for two mistakes I made.
Jumping into the sat before understanding when the main event was (I got surprised by it starting 20 minutes after the sat ended). I tried to unjoin the main event, but that's a no go at UB.
Letting myself Be swayed by that mind numbing Lost, knowing I can watch it today on the net.
So, I need advice on how to jump this wall. It may be that me publicly acknowledging these mistakes will drive the issue home and it will fix itself, but since this isn't the first time things have worked out this way, I probably need advice, please share some.. K, thanx.
