Hi all,

I've already opened a thread here, but things changed, I want to start again and post regularly here.

I used to beat the 10 eur superturbo games on ipoker, you can see my graph in my previous topic, it was pretty good, my backer agreed, so we thought it would be a good idea to start grinding the 20 eur games.

The first month was very nice, I had a a big upswing and I won ca. 1000$ in march. I only played 30 hour that month, so you can image what kind of hot run was that :) Then things started to get worse. in the next 1500 game I lost 50 buyins, my EV line was really bad(-4% adjusted roi), and I was under EV as fuck too. It's not the end of the world, I assume this could be normal variance, but  in my case it was not. After reviewing a lot of hands, I found out why was it such a big fail. The reasons were pretty simple.

The game itself pretty beatable. There were only few very good regs(they were the students of some really big name in husng), and they let me opensit usually. Also there were some not-so-good regs and plenty of fish. But I made a lot of mistakes against them. Not because I didn't know how to beat them, I just hadn't pay attention. I played my C game every day. I was on autopilot and I didn't adapt.

I'm bored of it and I want to change that, so here I am, I'm going to write about every session.

I think these are the reasons why I failed:

• Skype. I should just close skype when I'm playing.
• My girlfriend :) In April I met my amazing girlfriend, and since then I'm unable to beat poker :D It sounds funny, but I just can't say no to her. Obviously it's gonna be very bad in the future, if I run out of money. Somehow I have to explain her I can't be with her all the time.
• My life is too comfortable. It would be much better if I had more money of course, but it's already nice the way it is. Hard to motivate myself. Maybe If was closer to lose it all, it wouldnt be a problem, but I want a prevent that :)

Also my backer isn't very strict with me, it's a good thing basically. I must change, it will make my future much-much better.

There are a lot of very good professional players here, I hope I'm not alone with these problems, I would be really thankful if you could share your thoughts with me.
