I watched a couple. I could definitely do with some diaphragmatic breathing, and not yelling CAN I NOT JUST WIN ONE FUCKING HAND WHEN I'M MILES AHEAD?, which scares the neighbours.Dr Zenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14447633362204112316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1866185991684866107.post-81920458209725083902008-10-09T19:36:00.000+10:002008-10-09T19:36:00.000+10:00Honesty is very hard if you're tilting.

I guess that playing badly when luck doesn't go your way can be defined as tilt?<BR/><BR/>I found some pretty interesting video's on Stox from Jared Tendler, dealing with the mental side ('Foundation' and 'Tilt' expecially). I can recommned it!<BR/><BR/>Thanks alot for the HH offer.

You don't have the volume to get over it. And when you take a few beats, you're going to start tilting and doing things you shouldn't. I am trying to be honest with myself that my biggest problem isn't being unlucky, but playing badly when the luck doesn't go my way.<BR/><BR/>BTW, feel free to email me a couple of HHs if you'd like me to look them over. As you know, I'm not an expert, but if you think I can help, I'd be glad to. drzen1 AT gmail DOT com is my address.Dr Zenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14447633362204112316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1866185991684866107.post-40837307878422398512008-10-09T17:38:00.000+10:002008-10-09T17:38:00.000+10:00Hmmm... reading my own comments, I guess I was not...Hmmm... reading my own comments, I guess I was not playing my best, when I allowed myself to play Lagish and take chances...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1866185991684866107.post-84997276696274059032008-10-09T17:34:00.000+10:002008-10-09T17:34:00.000+10:00Nothing you can do...I've experience quite a swing...Nothing you can do...<BR/><BR/>I've experience quite a swing myself these past days and it just feels awfull when you are playing your best.<BR/><BR/>Having read about the StoxPoker offer you took at Titan, I decided to try for myself and quickly got the 90 points. On top of that I ran insanely hot, like 180% ROI(I'd like to think that I played well). Unfortunately I have lost almost all of the winnings the last couple of days.<BR/>My problem is that I take more chances and gets LAGish, when I win, even though I've been struggling to play a Moshman TAG style. <BR/>But I guess my numbers means nothing because I'm only single tabling and play at most 5-10 games a night. Still, it's hard not to feel bad when you have a losing streak of several days.<BR/><BR/>I think I'll take a break and watch some of the Stox videos instead. <BR/><BR/>GL at the tables. I'm sure you'll find the 'zone' again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
