Times when you are playing despite the fact that you are an emotional wreck simply because you have to. To gain x more BB or to win one more tournament or to claw back and break even. Sometimes this means you don't care whether you win or lose because you've reached such a sense of apathetic despair. Other times you're so convinced that you're going to get sucked out on you wonder why you should bother making the play. Whether pushing with 77 really is -EV. And even if it is maybe it'll hold up this time and you can get away with it. |

Re: Question
To put it kindly, this is not a good mindset to get into and if this is your profession you should find a new one. If it's not then you should play at my table ;-). If you're emotionally unstable then you don't "have to play" unless it's a tourney, but I don't play those and if I do I prepare myself mentally for the long haul.
