Wise words. Mistakes are profitable if you learn from them.

I only have one little thing of advice that works for me, dont get excited about winning a big pot because then you will have the adverse affect when you lose a big pot...if it is business as usual its less difficult to let the beats effect you.

Also, don't forget that you can go on tilt after winning a big pot much the same as you can if you lose a big pot. This is especially true if you make a good read on someone at your table and get it all in by the river with a marginal hand for the board and win. Now your adrenaline is flowing and you can easily "tilt off" what you have just won.

So you lost 3.5 buy-ins?

Some good advice in this thread.

Are you properly rolled to play these games?

I am not just meaning the standard 20 buyins. Everyone has different "comfort" levels, for some of us 20 is plenty and are not effected by a small downswing of a few buyins. For others, like myself, we need 40-50 buyins to not let these downswings effect us.

As you guys know, this game can be very taxing mentally at times and yesterday was certainly one of those days. I really like the advice about being honest with yourself b/c that’s what it really comes down to. Knowing when you're tilted, or not playing optimally is a huge aspect of poker to consider and not something that I follow when I’m chasing losses. It’s like I turn into a different person and whatever edge I had over these players becomes nil, but I keep playing and then it turns into “emotional poker”. I start to rationalize plays I’m making by saying to myself ”this guy sucked out on me so I’m going call his raises with any two and get him” and other similar nonsense that puts me on a one-way street to nowhere…

I know you guys go through this type of stuff to so thanks for the advice/comments.

*grunch*

umm 3.5 buyins? are you properly rolled. i play 6 max mainly but ive had 2 ten-buyin down-sings this month in 50k hands. get used to the variance and learn to care less about money when playing or move down.

If you start to call raises with ATC just to get back at people that sucked out on you, you're on serious tilt. Don't change tables, just quit, take a break and save yourself the money.
