I'm looking for some material on how you should be thinking as a professional when it comes to making money at poker. Nothing specific about poker strategy, just the whole psychology of a successful player. Lately I've been getting super tilted playing HU vs fish, even when I'm winning. Thats right, I dont even want to play them even when I'm ahead. The other day I played a reg for over 2 hours and loved it. To me it was fun. This seems like completely backwards thinking. I should be overjoyed to play the fish reloading 5x and should hate playing regs.
I know there are a few "how to think like a winning player" type books out there, and am just looking for opinions on which to get.

mental game of poker by jared tendler is by far the best
but don't just read it, read multiple times and do the exercises and I'm pretty sure that you will fix 90% of all your tilting issues ( I lazy as fuck and for me it's hard to keep doing everything I should ), also I'm reading an awesome book that I I think it's pretty good for poker players overall and especially for your specific issues, the book is not about poker, is about motivation
the book is DRIVE - by Dan Pink |

This. I have it as the book that props up my laptop heh. Probably read it 3 times now. Not a game changer, but has some interesting points.

The poker mindset and mental game of poker by jared tendler are both decent imo. |

its normal for me to feel kinda mad when playing fish because of how bad they play, but then again I also feel mad with regs because they also play terribly
playing poker is one endless streak of tilt for me |

Browsing through your hand histories makes me wonder that you might not be aware these games are possibly play money. Have you ever tried to cash out? - Kapol | |
