I may need help

The Dean is now taking enquiries from all interested parties regarding my new Poker Pro System “The Vulture” and also my forthcoming six max system “The Jackal”, anyone who is interested in these should contact me at Carl@Pokerquest.f9.co.uk to register their interest. The Dean can also be contacted at this address for all other poker, gambling and coaching related matters.

Long time viewers of Pokersharkpool will be all too aware of the fact that I have been complaining about my lack of concentration problems for quite some time. I almost had a disasterous session today with The Vulture as I basically mentally drifted into playing two large pots with mediocre hands that just didnt merit that level of action.

In no time I was down $65, the remarkable thing was that I quickly ended up in front with a lucky run of cards and ended the session winning $2. But these issues are obviously here to stay and the frightening thing is that I have also been drifting in the 25-50 games as well so this has nothing to do with the level of stakes.

Something needs to be done so I have sent for a book today from Amazon on sports psychology and specifically, techniques in improving concentration. This has always been a major problem for me ever since I was at school. It definitely held me back as a Chess player earlier in my youth and it is starting to hold me back now.

The thing is that when I first started out playing online, the level was so poor that you could basically just turn up and win and little concentration was required as the card dependent strategies basically did most of the work for you.

But players are better these days, they make less errors, they provide you with less value and this means that any lack of discipline is punished and the money takes longer to get back. They have a name for it in Tennis and it is called an “un-forced error” and this is what it is in poker…….an un-forced error.

There are lots of factors that dictate how a person can lose focus and fatigue is one of them and I must confess to not getting a great nights sleep last night and this happened last month as I recall and a bad session soon followed.

It just underlines that even someone like me who does nothing but advise others on what to do is guilty of not following their own advice. But I will take whatever help that I can get and if that means getting it from a book then so be it.

See you soon and take care
