easier to claw back losses than increase profits
If I start a session with $30 and drop down to $10 it is easier for me to climb back those $20 than to go straight from $30 to $50. Do I hate money subconsciously?

When you lose, usually you lose $USD but you gain image. So if you tighten up people will pay you off more frequently. At lease thats the case with me.

Re: easier to claw back losses than increase profits
Theorectically, if you are in a cash game I would say it is easier to go straight to $50. My reasoning is that if you drop to $10 you might then get a monster hand all-in against an opponent but you can only win $10.
Does that make any sense |

Maybe u just play better when u feel motivated by fear as opposed to desire.

I have noticed a similar thing happen to me. I have figured that it is because I play better after a downswing. I think through all the decisions more thoroughly and better weigh opponents ranges. The pain of continued bad play is a good motivator for me.

Its possible that youre afraid of loosing and playing weak but
when youre stuck you actually start to playing poker cause you dont care. |
