Time to analyze the game a bit. Jeffery said something to me the other day while I was playing in a tournament and he was watching me. It was about a hand he watched me play. He made a comment about a guy who raised me, he said the guy had been raising with nothing and that I should have reraised the guy. This made me sit back and think for a while.
The first thing it made me think about was the fact that Jeffery was paying more attention to the players at my table than I was and he wasn't even playing! I realized that I have been playing multiple tournaments while watching TV and cruising the internet all at the same time. Well if there is one thing that I'm not good at it's multitasking.
The second thing is I realized that the reraise had fallen completely out of my tool box. I couldn't remember the last time I had reraised somebody when I wasn't just trying to trap them.
Well I decided to play some $5 ten seaters and try and get my grove back. Time to go back to basics. Results out of ten SNG's played yesterday, I had five cashes (2 firsts and 3 seconds.) In the five I cashed in, I played one at a time. In the five I didn't cash in I was playing multiple tournaments (and watching the Colts loose.)
I know that ten is not a large sample but I like the trend. Lets see if it continues.
