My Pokerstars year to date has turned pretty disastrous in February and March.
My most successful games historically have hit a serious dry spell. I haven't
cashed in my forty five man sit n go game for weeks and have almost given up on
them for now. My thirty six man Sunday Million satellites games have gone pretty well but I can't cross the finish line. Four second places in my last
twenty efforts ($20 for second, $215 ticket for first!). Lost a 7 to 1 chip lead heads up in one and then my AK lost to A2 in the latest annoying second place. You
really do start to feel like your luck button has been switched off as your
bankroll goes in free fall. I am in good company in such illogical thinking.
Prior to winning the Sunday Million twice in a few months Kev Steele had
resolved to no longer play on Pokerstars through frustration over a bad run of
luck. See Kevs comment on my post "Inspiration from Kev Steele" from last
November.
I need to get back to focusing on my play and not just results. My solution
for now is to concentrate on Pokerstars Battle Of The Planets promotion. You
play in blocks of twenty sit n gos over a weekly period and gain points to earn
cash bonuses and if you do really well can play against other top performers for
big a big prize fund. As always I think a change along with a bit of discipline
and focus will help me. I am going to start with the 18 man turbos at the $3.50
level and see how I get on. These games will from part of my warm up session
before I play the $20 and $50 Jackpot sit n gos on Betfred which tend to
conclude my nightly poker sessions.
Coincidentally, Battle Of The Planets was a favourite childhood cartoon of
mine and had a main character called Jason like me. So how does that help me
playing poker I hear you say. Well who cares, if it changes my luck on
Pokerstars I will happily wear a costume too!
