I opened a fortune cookie yesterday with that saying. I do need to accept that I will have losing days. I want to win every time I play. Who doesn't. I want to grow my bankroll faster than it is currently growing. Each time I get that attitude I lose. If I just play poker to play and don't worry about making money from it, I usually do a little better.
My bad habits keep coming back. I fight with myself to stop from making poor calls, because I have to see if they really have it, or playing certain hands out of position. It's a constant battle to try to correct my play so I don't keep making the same old mistakes that cost me money. I will keep working on it until it comes natural to me.
Going forward I should only play when I am able to concentrate fully on the games I'm playing. I'm looking at getting a desk so that I am in a working type environment when I play instead of lounging on the couch. I like being comfortable but I cannot pay full attention to multiple tables when I can barely see the stats when I'm only playing 4 tables. I could play less hours by adding more tables, but I have to have greater concentration if I do that.
I also need to start using a mouse again. I cannot move on the track pad on the computer as fast as I can with a mouse if I start multitabling more than 6 tables. I still won't play over 6 tables of NL but I would be fine with SNG's.
