Aba,

If you're in a juicy game but feel like you're not playing your best, do you try to stick it out, or quit?

If you feel yourself starting to tilt, what do you do? Just stop playing for a while?

Do you ever make short term -EV plays for metagame? eg. give up on pots to avoid tilting yourself, or push hard in pots without an edge to try to tilt your opponent?

[/ QUOTE ]

I usually stick with it, even when I know i should quit. I have trouble stopping playing especially if I am stuck.

I try to just quit and go workout when I am tilting but it is easier said tahn done. Tilt was one thing I had to work on as I was moving up the levels. Here is an example of how bad I used to tilt and how far I have come (I hardly tilt now).

No not usually people think I am crazy enough as is I don't need to do extra to try to convince them.

When decidign to post a hand do you have some type of guidline? I often go through old sessions but never find hands that I feel need to be posted. I can usually find the mistake right away but obvioulsy this is after the fact. Any suggestions so I dont flood 2+2 with trivial post?

aba20,

Do people you know from your non-online life know of your poker success? What do they think? What does your family think?

How important is having a great deal of "gamble" in you for beating very high stakes games? At what stakes does this become a key factor? Do you gamble on non-poker games?

Thanks for taking the time to do this!

I am curretnly transitioning from limit to NL. Having read that you did the same I was curious what you thought the biggest differences were. Also, I find myself naturally calling down more even when I feel like Im beat and going to SD too much from playing mostly limit for a while. I was curious if you had a similar problem while transittioning or breaking old limit habits while beginning NL and/or how you did break them?

Thanks

hey aba, good thread you are inspiring me to stop playing sloppy and give it my best go to get up to 100/200 with you. how much PLO do you play and what stakes are you starting at? how can you justify playing PLO and making $50 an hour or $200 an hour when you could make so much more at NL? sure someday you can maybe make the same, or even make moremoney at PLO but that is probably months off.

what's your winrate? full tables, 6 max tables, HU?
