I guess you could note the hand number, and then check it out in PT and try to figure out why you played as you did and how you could do better and then try to not do it in the future. Knowing that you learn from your mistakes might make you less pissed when you happen to do one.

I've tried this, but I get pissed at suckouts and I redo my mistakes when I get tired/angry/whatever, so might work better for you. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

when i make a mistake, i know imediately that i [censored] up, and i learn from it, but i still make a mistake later down the road. maybe now that i can play a lot more, i can make less screw ups? but this doesnt really solve my problem

If you make the same mistake again the only thing you can do is trying harder not to make it the next time, I think.

I know what you mean though, some sessions I feel more or less unaffected by suckouts/bad luck (as long as they don't happen all the time) but when I make an evident mistake myself it feels a lot worse.

Play perfectly? I mean, what kind of answer are you looking for?

Keeping a level-head while getting sucked out on is great. Mistakes are going to happen, just try to learn from them and correct them. Maybe keep a list of mistakes/leaks that you have and make sure to not repeat them.
