I use to think the only way to approach poker is to just keep pushing and pushing how long you can play before reaching your breaking point. I'm talking increasing the amount of tables and hours you play more and more each day. If a new table opens I always sit there and I try to act like I'm some sort of poker legend who can take on anyone at any time for as long as possible. Not willing to quit playing till the games die out. But if you read my other thread you can see this type of thinking has lead to my demise because I eventually play for so long at so many tables at such a high intensity level that I just snap. Perhaps it is because I am stubborn at times.

I've always been the type of person who goes all in on something or doesn't do it at all. I always felt if I couldn't do it right why do it at all. But that kind of mentality isn't working for me. I'm looking for a new approach. I'm not sure if there is a video on here that discusses things like planning out sessions and adjusting to how you feel. But I would love to watch something on that. I'd also like to watch a video that discusses my issue of just feeling so restless inside and full of rage if I have a losing session. Some people aren't bothered by losing but I just can't seem to function unless I win. I just feel completely terrible and lose hope and am willing to do anything I can to end the day up money. Even if it means risking my entire bankroll. Which I have done countless times:/

So what I am saying is whatever my approach is, it doesn't work. Playing poker whenever you feel like it doesn't work for me. I need some kind of structure with a bailout plan in case for some reason I am unable to play. I need a way to lose 10 buyins in a session and not have it effect my sleep or mood. I need a way to say okay I'm going to play 4 hours today and quit even if I'm down. But the way I approach the game right now is just so unorganized and the games I decide to play are based off of feelings instead of what is the right game to play. I think playing a game because you feel like it, isn't a good enough reason ya know?
