self censorship

[Pudge714]

Self-moderation is more accurate term for me than self-censorship.
A lot of times I just choose to sit a play, when my friends make ridiculous claims such as,
JJ Redick top 10 NCAA B-Ball player of all time.
Barnagi will become as good as Dirk not even close.
Three years from now I would take Brady Quinn over any QB in the NFL.
etc, etc.


I often censor myself about poker. I don't feel like telling my friends that I'm pissed off because I have lost $x this week, or conversely that I'm pissed off because I only won $x or that I'm giddy because this Month I made $x.

I understand that. I lost 2k whoring a casino once and made the mistake of telling my friends that. They couldn't understand why I would do that. Even though I lost 2k, it was still +EV. It's hard to explain EV to someone who doesn't gamble.
