you re absolutely right about focusing about playing well rather than whining and bitching

the thing is, I keep my "real life" pretty disconnected from my poker results and spitting out whatever whining I have cooped up inside in this blog helps ensure that poker tilt doesn t become full-blown life tilt. also, for the past 4 or 5 sessions, i feel that i ve done a really good job of just patiently focusing on the hands in front of me.

it s funny; getting sucked out on doesn t tilt me at all. making plays that seem bad immediately after i ve made them tilts the fuck out of me. i don t feel like i ve made too many of those lately, so whatever poker tilt comes my way usually only hits me after I look at my results and realize that I played well and just lost the equivalent of a decent used car.
