for the last couple months ive been playing the live 1$-2$ nl tables at the casino every chance my money will allow it.that has worked out to be 4 days a weak mostly and 3 days of the weak when i am on a down turn or in an a "barely breaking even" rut.all toll for three months im down a little under 200$ and that's due to yesterdays roller coaster hell game. ill get to the point though when i was down to my last 15$ and looking to get that all in when ever i got the hand to due so i realized that in all the big pot hands i had played that day i was not comfortable being in most of them.i was fine with the cards that i was playing .they were mostly solid hands .but the bets i was facing were really bothering me. for some reason i was focused on my money to much and big bets were scaring me because i would start thinking about how much i didnt want to loose that money rather than thinking about do i have the hand that will beat the other hands in play.for some reason money meant more than usual and it crippled my play i think.is this something players go through periodical?have any of you gone through anything like this?i really hope i was just having an off day and can shake this off.playing not to loose and worrying about my stack all the time will not be productive at all.that is no way to play poker im sure you all would agree wouldn't you?
