Wow the 25-35bb stack and the issues that i have been having with it is crazy. So i have decided to do a few things to add focus and get more rest. In order to play optimal im going to need a lot more rest; Therefore i have decided to just eliminate the low buy-in Mtt's from my workday play period. TBH the 3R's and 5R's ect is just not worth my time, as well as any Mtt not paying at least $1,000+ when i have work in the morning. It's just not smart on my part to stay up until 1 or 2 am to ship anything from $100-$400 or so; Then come to work tired as hell from a $45.00 min cash on most occasions.

Also with my middle girl living with me, cost are going to go up a bit LOL to say the least. So i will no longer be playing on Sunday unless i am entering $109's or higher mtt's via satty tickets or own dime'n it. Somewhere i have to find a balance between family work and playing poker. Also i am not as young as i used to be; So old people like me get tired a lot faster LOL(j/k). As far as my 6max game it's still a project in the works; And i feel that i may have to change a few things there as well.
Also despite being on an $1100 down swing, I feel most has to do with my play overall. And although variance does play a part sometimes; Overall i just feel it's an excuse a lot of players use for bad play. Sure you might be running bad,but higher variance plays= higher variance lol............!!! Im not a nitt by far and if anything can be said about my game; I know i am spazzy as the fuck when i get close to being short stacked haha. One of the main reasons i get spazzy is mostly because of certain stack sizes in mtt's that i don't play very well; In which cases i end up with a huge stack or out of the tournament.
Overall i want to have more control of certain spots where i feel i am at my weakest. This is also the reason i will be cutting back during the workdays; And focusing more on my game away from the table!
