I\'m actually pissed off
2 weeks ago I had my worst day ever, by FAR, but took it really well. But now I feel a seething rage within me.
I was up 500 for the day, and saw a really terrible player playing. I decided not to sit since I was really tired. I couldnt get to sleep so I checked on the table. Not only was the terrible player still there, there were 3 other players, all of them very bad. Well I just felt bad passing up such a profitable opportunity, so I sat down. Quickly run it up to total profit of 2K for the day. Then the beats start coming. Typical stuff, very annoying. I drop down and down until I am not up much. The fish has been promising 'last hand' for ages, but he wont leave. He says 'I want $5K' (he has 4.75K). Such a dumb, dumb thing to say. Next hand, I get JJ, he calls a raise with Q7o, river Q - 'bye'. So, I am now down for the day (not by much). I have had people get lucky v me before, and as I said I have lost a lot more money and took it really well, but right now I am tense and angry and sad.

Re: I\'m actually pissed off
btw after he left the game was still excellent, but I left immediately. Impressed with my self control.

Re: I\'m actually pissed off
Who moved this here? I deliberately put it in psychology because I wanted to analyse why this pissed me off so much whereas my much much much worse day didn't.

[/ QUOTE ] That comes across so easily in your OP  I think that attaining something and having it stipped away hurts more than never having it in the first place. If you won a million and lost it the next day, it would more than piss you off dispite being even and financially secure. I find I get most angry when I win a decent amount, feel good about it, and decide to call it a day. I uncheck autopost and of course lose 20% of my winnings on a hand or too before I have to repost. Giving yourself a mental "high 5" and then falling short hurts.

don't play tired. [/ QUOTE ] This is very good advice. Some of my biggest losing sessions have been late night sessions where I'm nodding off and just doing the stupidest [censored].
