Babar angry, goes to 5/10 (2 AK spots)

[Bona]

I read your post and the hands. More words than you usually type in 10 posts combined.

I looked at your hands and read the posted responses. I have nothing to add to them.

Since you are one of the player/posters I genuinely respect I went back and reread several of you responses to posters regarding tilt. Your posts demonstrate a good understanding of the phenomena and cogent advice on dealing with it effectively. As I knew it would.(search tilt witin the last year) BIgBadBabar poster)

I didn't find any instance where you had advised anyone to fight tilt by angrily moving up in stakes. As my hero BBB might say WTF??? You have, however, frequently advised posters to take a break and or go way down in stakes to play through it.

bona, good post

basically since i'm not playing for a living any more (which i hope to write about in my 5k post) i'm more willing to take shots, and also the game was good. this site's roll started with a rb payment that i'd forgotten about, so i treated it as found money that i wasn't afraid to lose.

in general you're right that i understand tilt well and the ways to safely counteract it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

you're also right that it's usually not a wise course of action to move up when on tilt, and of course i freely admit that.

thanks for looking out.

hand one ... i don't mind the bet
if you check on this flop it can likely get raised and reraised (but less likely to be 3bet) ... i would rather bet and call one then check and be forced to fold

kind of hard to determine outs at this stage (no?) ... but you have 4 solid outs - and if raised and 3bet behind you that's all

hand 2

depends on villain ... i could just call here as we are likely behind but have a big draw and redraw (and if this other guy sucks then his "outs" could get us some more monies)... i play it either way though
