I think I suffer from a lot of the same problems as wonderland and probably a lot of other micro players (brushes off loses to variance and emotionally invested in results etc) and here is what I’ve figured out although I doubt it will help.

Were fucked. There is something wrong with us emotionally. Well not really wrong in a conventional sense but obstructive to good poker play. Unfortunately there is no cure or sage piece of advice that is going to immediately fix us. It’s likely well have to deal with these problems for the rest of our lives both in poker and real life.

So what can we do? Give up? You can if you want to. Or you can focus really really hard on trying to control your emotions so that years from now it will have become second nature through repetition and habit and maybe we wont have to try anymore. Or maybe we’ll be trying our whole lives. Maybe everybody deals with the same shit and the successful ones just grin and bear it and don’t let it effect their results. Who knows...

Also we suck really badly at poker and so our pathetic win rates are hella swingy
