Default Re: Taking a break from Poker - LONG & Low Content

Although I generally agree that most people who play poker could probably do better by not playing, I would add some things to what you said as I think quitting may be a little harsh. The first is, just play donkaments at a comfortable, treat it like a hobby level. That is, just write off the cost. Secondly, emotional stability *can* be learned. Although nearly everyone has some degree of tilt, I used to be much, much worse, as I basically had learned tilt from the live games I grew up in, i.e. I thought tilt was what you did. But now I am something approaching one million times better. But it's hard. And you really have to want to do it. And you have to see that achieving it is something worthwhile, i.e. read Tommy.
