Had a PLO session today vs a bunch of donks, so I'm all like
and proceed to extract value by dissecting their ranges and putting them in tough spots to spew chips on weak draws. I have no idea what I'm doing
but thats ok, I can already feel the tides turning. Before I know it I run into a 70/50/5 player who is up 9 BI's at my table.
EZ game, just 3bet/4bet him with 130% of your range. I instantly run my stats up to 35/25/4, and felt like
Over the span of 3 hours my bankroll has magically dwindled 7 BI's, and all I can feel is
So like a navy seal, I remember my training. Just get your stats down to around 22/18/3 and pray the donk doesnt leave. Step into the shadows, and await your prey
In less than an hour I recover my 700BB's and finish up 3 after I stack my nemesis for a 500BB pot flush vs flush. He rage quits all my tables, even though he's still up several stacks, and I finish another session in the green.
Never forget. God bless and goodnight

Man.. I thought you had realized like 1.5-2 years ago what a horrible thing poker is for your overall well-being.
This is depressing. |

Actually one of my new years resolutions is to get over my phobia of grinding. I have solved my tilt issues by just being disciplined quitting as soon as I feel myself getting angry, havent tilted in at least a year. Now I just need to work on putting in the hours, as I still feel my pulse rise any time I begin playing. Like anything in life, practice makes perfect. I notice after about the 2 hour mark I stop feeling anything at all, so my goal is to desensitize myself to the point where I never feel anything period. BTW you shouldnt be concerned for me, I have a great career outside of poker and live a comfortable life, so I'm not degening here or anything of that sort (nor have I ever). |

Great post.
If you're playing poker pretty much just for fun, don't desensitize yourself, enjoy it! It's bloody boring being a desensitized grinder. |
