Re: How often do you mess up?

Yeti,
I've thought about this a lot. Basically this is what it comes down to for me.
My goal is to play optimally
This is impossible(obviously).
Every session I will be upset with my play because it is suboptimal.
Given this I have learned to still be critical of my play but not let poor decisions bother me as much as they used to.
I'm not sure if this helps but just my 2 cents.

im in the same boat. i used to tilt ridiculously if I felt I made a poor play(s). Now i'm still very critical of my play, but realize that dwelling/obsessing on particular hands (the past, rather than the present)in a NEGATIVE manner is completely counterproductive and breeds monkey tilt. basically for me its like, everyone makes mistakes, you cant be succesfull without learning from them but you also have to move on and not let prior hands affect your actual mentality
i think this is the sort of thing that halts development in a lot of players. some ppl just cant admit to mistakes/evaluate their play objectively
pretty simple stuff but w/e
