Confidence Is KEY!
The Upper Hand #26

It felt like I was getting run over in my Highstakes Tournaments the past couple days.
Poker is a funny game.
It’s also such a beautifully complex game.
When I’m studying and grinding hard, my confidence soars.
Mistakes will still be made.
Lots of them.
Nobody is playing anywhere near perfect.
But everytime a close spot comes up, I’m happy to trust my gut, go with that first instinct.
When I’m feeling rusty, I question everything.
I dwell on hands.
Studying the spots I struggled with, for the most part, my logic was sound.
It was just one of those days where things didn’t go my way.
It reminded of this quote;
“Your success in life depends on your ability to make good decisions. Your happiness depends on your ability to not care about the outcomes.”
This week I’m zoning in on making the best decisions I’m capable of.
Hands will undoubtedly be butchered.
BUT I SHALL NOT DWELL ON THEM MID-GAME!
Then we’ll learn from our mistakes during our study.
Excited to play a Sunday session tomorrow
I’ll be live in the evening - 5/6pm Irish time.
Bye for now, you BEAUTIFUL Fucks!
