Default Re: OT: How often do regs spew?

<quote>"Now, let's say my potential top end earn is 10 PTBB/100 based on my knowledge of the game. If my winrate is 5 PTBB/100, then I'm losing the other 5 PTBB/100 because of things that I can immediately control... weak play, spew, tilt. With these numbers, I'd say weak play accounts for about 1PTBB/100, tilt 2PTBB/100 and spew 2PTBB/100.</qouote>

Think this was a bit confusing


Spew = playing bad (making -EV decisons, and/or making future situations more -EV) if I'm right
Tilt = playing worse than you are capable of

An average player who plays to his fullest potential is still spewing, but he isnt at tilt.

A mediocre TAG who plays his to his fullest potential at 12 tables is often spewing more pr. table than if he single-tabled but isnt at tilt because he chose to multitable (unless a multitabler tell was EV+, to be precise).

Would recommend the "The Poker Mindset" book to learn how to better protect yourselves against tilt. Anybody else who have read it?
