So there it is. Another deep run in a difficult tourney.

6 hours of playing solid poker to get down to the final three tables and attempt to make a move on the chipleader who has zero chance to fold.

I truly believe I am having some type of mental backlash after the month I had in June.

In June I had no problem closing.

In June I made it to the final three tables 11 times

I win six times.
I placed 4-9th 3 times.
I placed 9-27th 3 times. (one of those being a 14th place finish in the 500k).

There was no premature final table evacuation. :)

These days it is a common occurrence.

I July I have ZERO final tables!

I have 5 finishes between 10-45.
And one finish in 110 in Sunday Million.

I am not showing the mental strength to will myself to victory as I did in June. what does that mean?

How do yo all keep your eye on the prize. In June I had two major driving forces.

1. To play the WSOP I need 30k in profit. (Done)
2. I need to beat Virge in our TLB bet. (Done ***barely).

I need the proper motivation to start off August right?

Any ideas?
