Another sunday down

This will be my last sunday playing tournaments for a couple weeks, I am going out of town to hang out with friends next weekend then out of town for my mom’s birthday the weekend after that.    Unfortunately, I hardly made the most of it today.  I had a decent stack in the warmup, the second chance, the 750k, and the cake 250k, but I blew them all and only cashed the warmup.  I feel like one thing I am getting worse about is getting bored once I get like 30-40 BB and trying to make moves that may not even be bad but are high variance and have been getting me eliminated, when I could just keep stealing blinds and chipping up.
I think if I watch more videos of JC or DN or someone just folding a ton of hands and not getting messy it will reinforce it and I’ll be back to doing that, but I’m pretty disappointed that I think I could have at least made a decent run in 2 or 3 more tourneys today and definitely at least cashed in a couple more where I just sort of spewed my stack off, which is something I don’t normally do.    Like in the cake 250k, I had 66 with like a 40k stack at 500/1000 and raised small UTG  to like 2350 and got 4bet on the button by a player who I knew to be fairly aggro at 6max to like 10000 and for some reason I decided this would be a good time to shove allin, which is pretty awful, and he tank-called with JJ.  I mean I’m sure he’s bluffing there some of the time, but it has to be pretty often for my shove to be good and I don’t think he was doing it that often, I was just bored or something.

I’ll take the next couple of weeks off from tournaments and just play cash during the week, and hopefully by the time I get back to playing tournaments a couple weeks into April I’ll be ready to patiently climb to the final tables again.
