helloo everyone. okay, so for this month my Poker results have been up and down the whole time. i started down, then got level then down, then got level and i am now currently down. haven't had a losing month in a couple of months (it is still not ever of course) but what is really getting to me other than some mtt variance is my end game. i usually play $8 180 man sng's if i mix them in, but i just decided there to play strictly $2.50 and play a ton of them. keep regging every time i get ko'd. this was because i wouldn't feel tilted if i got a bad beat and i thought i could play my best game throughout by simply going for the win.
i played around 30 in total in the space of a couple of hours. final tabled two, came 10th in two (got DC'd for 5 mins so this cost me at least one of these 10ths and some chips the other times i just scraped itm or went in to FT ss or whatever.) highest i came was 7th. which is pretty bad tbh. overall i was down for that session, not too worried about that but more about my game.
when i was playing the early and middle stages i felt so confident and as if i was playing near as good as i can- hand ranges were perfectly mapped out in my head for any situation, be that a certain stack size, position, calling/ shoving, in 3 way pots etc. as well as having good reads when playing the odds post flop pot. in both of these stages i feel like i have a pretty big edge. this usually allows me to get to the last 2 tables with a decent amount of chips. i never went in with monster stacks, usually around average. however, when it got to the last 2 tables i didn't feel as confident for some reason. whether that was stack sizes, stage of tournament or whatever i am not sure. but i felt a little bit lost at points. usually my end game is pretty good, but the past few days it has been poor- yesterday ko'd in 16th from $13.50 KO from big field after 2 pretty bad mistakes. and then today i went in to final 2 table of $11 $3k gtd tourny with a av stack, got blinded away lost a pot or two then lost with 3's v 8's on FT bubble. again in 10th. in some ways i don't think this is a terrible thing as it shows that i am not bothered simply to make FT, but overall i feel i am losing a ton of money playing my current end game. does anyone have any advice on what to do to get me back playing well in this aspect? cheers!
