Final Tally:
-8k. Weird thing is I just feel frustrated. Don't feel sick to my stomach or anything. Just generally pissed at my own lack of self control and pissed with the way I handled the whole night.

I blew an entire month's work in one night. I feel like a complete idiot. I really can't play anymore tonight. So I guess I will get up tomorrow and start grinding again. I've got way more than enough bankroll I just really need some help with my emotional control.

I'm not really sure how I am going to work on it, but we'll see.

I've done this (though not as drastically). It happens. It will probably happen 2 or 3 times more before you really learn to put a stop on it while it's in progress (well if you're stubborn like me). It's so hard to ignore you're inner voice saying:
"OK, you were playing like a dick, you deserved to lose that money. Now just play goot and you'll win it back"
Only, you're not thinking clearly or playing that good still.

Give it another day, or play way less tables for the whole amount of time, marveling at how easy it is playing so few tables, how good your reads are, and what a great player you are. THEN go back to grinding.

Give the above a shot. Also, as soon as I start thinking "That guy just beat me and he sucks. I'll just outplay him and get my money back," I know now that I'm asking to outplay myself and tumble further in the tilt/spew spiral of death.

Thanks Merc-
Upon further consideration I am going to take the day off tomorrow. Going to my nephew's 2nd birthday party. Hopefully something will help. Clear my mind and ger refocused.

From now on I think I am going to institute a 7 buyin stop-loss limit~2500-4000 depending on my mix of games I guess.

I am hoping losing such a large figure in one night will be something that I will eventually be able to look back upon and realize that it was a fortunate event and will have helped me to control myself.

I did this just a week and a half ago except it was only 2k in a day (but proportionally equal for me). I also tried to play after -1k and then -1.5k, much like you did, to try to win some back since I felt I was still playing well. It was by far the most I've ever lost in one day and the strange thing is, I felt the exact same way. I was very frustrated but that's about it.

also come on - youre at 400 nl and 600 nl and 8k is an entire months work?? GRIND MORE BABY

FGators · #**526** 06-24-2006, 02:07 AM

I continue to win but every session I lose KK or QQ to AJ,AQ,A10 all in preflop for $200 hands. If I could avoid that I think I would have enough money to go to NL 400.

I have to know - are any of these hands played particularly poorly? Is there anywhere where I totally missed out on value or bet too small? I just don't understand it anymore - it makes absolutely no sense. I just don't understand wtf happened to my game.

On the plus side I did get to make fun of MrsFsuPlayer.

JSnipes, don't worry too much about it. These things happen. The important thing is that you can discern between tilt and variance and move on to play as well or better the next time, and I know that you can do that. Get back on the wagon whenever you're feeling up to it.

Also, represent Florida's east coast! I'm in jacksonville for the summer (grew up here), yall holler if you're anywhere near here.
