[Praxising]

"Desensitize yourself to money" is a critical challenge for every player from everything I have read and from my own experience (limited though it is in comparison to most here).

If you are focused on this one hand, then you are playing "short-sighted" poker. This hand doesn't matter, ALL the hands matter. Your goal is not to win the hand, your goal is to make as many correct decisions as possible. If you make more good decisions than your opponents, over time, the money will come.

So, what to do in the short term? Be well/over bankrolled. Play as low a stakes as you can. Then, just start calling whenever it makes sense to you. Raise a few times just for the heck of it. You will lose. You will win a few. Many winning players actually lose more pots than they win.

Just do it and do it and do it and do it. Every hand is about doing it as well as you can and it's not about anything else.

Maybe someday that magical switch will click over and I'll be indifferent to money, myself.

Play for the long haul.
