Playing to learn

I dropped 6 buyins on first day back from my break which is super standard after any time off!

I am pretty much break even at the tables so far this year despite playing well (I think) and this is getting me a little frustrated, however I read something in Secrets of Short Handed No Limit Holdem by Danny Ashman which is really helping my mindset.

Basically I am working on ‘playing to learn’ as opposed to ‘playing to win’.

The great thing about playing to learn is that if you actually manage to learn from your mistakes you will ultimately win more. That’s the theory anyway!
