Hows your attitude? LC
Over the past couple months I have been giving the state of the games, and in my case micro-limits, alot of thought, as I am quite certain is everyone else that plays with any level of seriousness.
Post Frist poker has raised many questions, most of which are unanswerable, which for me at least is pretty damn frustrating.
The game has and is continuing to evolve as has been mentioned in numerous posts of late, and like it or not, I can't do a thing about it.
What I can do something about is my own actions, both technically and otherwise, and especially my attitude.
Most tables these days are packed with regulars and low on fish, at least my tables, and that is far from optimal, obviously. What is worse is I see the same amount of berating of the fish if not more as when things were normal.
This is of course lunacy, if my goals are to profit.
What business, and this IS a business for many on this forum, could even hope to survive while treating their customers like garbage?
Even in good times, let alone hard times!
"...and another thing you moron, not only dont you know what you are doing, but how can you possibly be such an idiot to do business with me?? You could get the same thing down the street for half the money., what a xxxing idiot!"
Personal accountability is key, along with an honest self-appraisal, otherwise I am no better than the gambler, hoping for a big win.
I really think that if I am berating bad play, teaching at the table, and just generally making people feel unwelcome at the tables, thus less likely to jump through the hoops required to even get money on the sites, that I am very far away from being a winning player, regardless of what poker tracker might say.
We are all human and this is a tough game, so we can all fall into this behavior quite quickly. One of the things I do if I notice myself with a nasty attitude is to just shut off my chat, that way I am less likely to say someting I shouldn't.
What are some things you guys are dong to keep your head in the game?
