Hello I am trying to build up my "quality" posts so I am able to play the 3.30 satellite to the 1 billion tourney but also this matter concerns me greatly these days so it's like win win .
I have always had problems playing tournaments that can change my situation drastically and to which I don't really have the bankroll to buy in (having entered by satellite or by some bankroll killer move) . I am going to play in such a tournament in a poker network that is not well known and the quality of players is not that great (from what I have played which is not really much) but this is still a million $ guaranteed event with over 500$ buy in . I am looking to boost my poker confidence by winning something meaningful in the meantime but this is as you know much harder than it sounds and having been so close to really good finishes last few weeks I don't think I am feeling better. I read a bit about Dr. Stephen Simpson and downloaded his book "Push at Open Doors" on audio file and will try to get to it these days but please if you have anything to add to the subject feel free. What state of mind do you adopt when playing tournaments that are out of your bankroll depth and which are much more important than anything you ordinarily play. I try to play such events as if they are nothing special and just another serious tournament to which you should give your best but it's not always the way it goes...
