I'm leaving in a few days for prague and my confidence is pertty shot after losing money lately. what tips can this forum give me to improve my game, and my confidence?
Richard, I looked at your stats and you can flat out play. You don't need any tips, you just need to play your game and trust your reads. I always want to read your advice in the hand analysis section, as you provide great insight.
what you playing in prague? If you havent played many tourneys like this just try to pick someone at the table who looks like they know what they are doing, watch how they carry themselves at the table, and as a start try to mimic what they do. Thats what I did when first getting into live and seemed to work out well lol
well, I've played like 6-7 events abroad before including an ept. Still, I can't seem to profit from even the 5 and 10 rebuys for the past month and I cut most of my sessions short due do losing too many tables at once and go play computer games instead ^^'
dont get discouraged, but for me even when losing at live i still love it. I play so much online I almost never allow myself too while away on a trip. I take it all as a learning experience and figure it good practice to try to get live reads.
Make sure you don't overthink the situation. Don't worry about where you are, or how much money you're playing for. Play to win. Play your opponents. Take your time, make the decisions you always feel are correct. Most importantly, never allow yourself to tilt.
Sure, we're all in this to make money, but most of us are also pretty passionate about the game. Enjoy yourself, and enjoy the experience.
All in all, I do wish you the best of luck.
yeah, only one starting day for some reason. They said this was gonna be one of the biggest yet so it's probably gonna be some 40ish tables in one casino
Also, fml, less than 2 hours before I need to get up
Update: Reached the hotel, two busses in sweden, one train in sweden, one flight and bus in prague and two subways in prague and a bunch of on site registering actually went super smooth this time x)

Some good advice in this thread. Hard to stay confident when you're losing money that's all, no end in sight
