Re: Confessions of a mid-stakes tilt monkey
I think miles is saying people are unobservant so they still call your raises down with anything showdownable just because you have an aggressive preflop image, even if you rarely semibluff or raise less than top pair
edit: what abso said

Re: Confessions of a mid-stakes tilt monkey
I feel you, I don't think I've ever been more unstoked on life than when I lost 100BB getting all my money in good and being rivered everytime, best feeling ever, especially when I continue to play and lose half my roll like a donk on tilt.

1 tabling ftw. seriously I play one or two tables and focus on EVERY SINGLE decision when I start feeling like this. [/ QUOTE ] I think this is important.. Less the 1 tabling part and more the thinking about EVERY decision. Pausing like 2-3 seconds before you complete an action. This may require playing less tables.. My tilted decisions have much more to do with impulsivity than lack of discipline to execute the action I think is best... so this is good advice Then again sometimes my thought process is "Damn... he would probabily have raised earlier with a pair, so he probabily ddidnt hit two pair.. This board is a little too scary for him to be donking with a riverd pair of 3s, so he probabily made a straight or has nothing... F*ckin lucky fish, this is so BS" and I click raise... and he 3-bets.... and I call IRL , I make impulsive/bad decisions under pressure, I have poor self discipline and get emotionally flustered when things dont go my way, quickly.. This obviously manifests itself in poker too. They are all destructive traits, and ones I want to get under control for reasons other than poker.
