Re: Anyone else keep telling to yourself you suck at poker?
[ QUOTE ]
In my case the trigger is when I say myself something like: Oh man you really suck at poker and couldnt even beat NL25. Or Why do you even bother playing this tourney when you are -ev and wont cash.
That's kind of [censored] I keep saying myself all the time, how do I get over it? And instead start telling myself how great I am and hom in gonna crush all the mofos.

If you can't beat the NL25 than perhaps your assessment is more realitic than not. It's very good to think positively and avoid negative thoughts, but it is also important to think realistically. Setting goals is good, but self acceptance is also critical to someone who wants to recognize where they're at. By doing that, you will know what the next best step is in order to attain your goal(s). (get better at poker, win MTTs etc.)
