Didn't cash in any of the tournaments I played today, as well as yesterday. I think a big part
of the reason I haven't shown much success online since the WSOP is two things: a.) i'm not putting
in enough volume into high-edge tournaments loaded with fish, and b.) i'm putting in too high
of a % of the volume that I put into poker by playing tougher fields with low edge like the
100+rebuys on pokerstars.

It's my belief that even if you get deep in the 100+rebuys whether it is on the weekend(easier
because it gets larger fields---> therefore higher % of drawing an easy table and more fish)
or not you will end up having a tough time exploiting players in the ways that is neccessary in
order to chip up properly to give yourself the best shot at winning. You need to enter fields
that will give you almost hardly any resistence in order to profit well. Profitting well helps
build your confidence and eventually helps make you a sicko. Now, i'm not advocating to just
stomp on fish all day, plenty of nice tournaments online have good amounts of tournament regulars
and hyper aggressive players to make sure you don't slack off and keep on your toes at all times.

I'm going to start cutting out certain tournaments from my schedule for my own good, and the
100+rebuys is the new candidate. As competitive as I may be, I think with my age and experience
on the live circuit throughout the past 6 months that somethings in life are better off left alone.
