these are really great points too. i find i play my worst after a prolonged period of strong success. sometimes i will get an inflated ego and then when the 'running worse than you forgot was possible' inevitably revisits you, its tough to handle. also i have had chat turned off for years now. it helps me stay detached and mostly see the game as a series of situations and numbers. i turn it on for a few seconds after i put a sick beat on someone though to giggle at what they say [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
