Hey..live players/pros..
I make decent profit playing $2 5 and $5 10 casually @ casino. Typically drive to casino early, play, leave @ night..or maybe string two nights together/get a room for that night. Friends n I think n talk poker both ways..usually these trips are at least a wk or 2 apart.
Now when I take weeks off and try playing for days on end like pros would (to kinda preview if I can eventually leave my job for it)..ugh. my winrate drops significantly..can't focus on every session (some get my A game, some..not so much. Variance gives good and bad days, but when I go casually I almost always bring A game).
I find when I win a couple thousand one night..I wake up the next morning...freeerollin' lol. I always do something stupid with the next buyin. I also play lag...and try to make the same moves I was making at the end of the previous night (when I had huge stack and was getting tons of respect)...doesn't work when you first sit down lol.
Then when I blow the first bi or 2...I'm tilted. Need to get off table...ugh! I either tilt or get up and do something else for a while (even tho obv getting back oon the tablle is only thing on my mind)..but I know pros and casino regs even that never bllink...they just rebuy and keep playin their A game...I can't do that. Is that a must for a pro? Any tilt whatsoever + my lag style...awful combo lol, I have to get off the table.
Any thoughts?
Possibly anyone that's made the transition or has faced that problem?
