You talk about freerolls right ?

Simply it's very hard to motivate oneself to earn some cents more.
It's awfully hard to play seriously in freerolls and when you get ITM, you feel that you've done all too well.
Try small/micro buyin torneys and you'll see how your motivation changes for the better.

Freerolls can motivate me if my motivation is learning. If after tourney I can say - I've done the best I can !

If, on the other hand, you talk about real money buyin tourneys, then I don't know. :confused:

Yeah it seems like when you have to fight to get to the top of the bunch you try harder. When you are at the top of the mountain you almost need to look to a higher mountain to climb to get the challenge.

I recently won 50 million chips and now the little games feel boring. Now I am trying to win tourneys that offer cash prizes. But i am still just a beginner.

Yes. To win a tourney requires play a little looser than just trying to money.

I advise you to read the book Jared Tendler mind game I have it to the end but not read a lot of useful information I found there.

What’s the main leaks you think you have here? For example is it playing too loose, making bad calls, going all in every hand etc?

A lot of people lose interest right after the bubble, especially those low on chips who want a quick double up / bust so this stage of the game can be a mine field.

yes im talking about freerolls that pay some cash money to start my bankroll from zero
after making a little cash i will play defferent tournaments like STTn but i have to find a way to control my self, and stop making bad decision and play like i do in the beggining
