Emotional Control

yes

check the cashier page on the first of every month?

fuck that

Flow with some emotion to something outside of poker lol
loolololo then come back renewed in the MIND!?

just stop punting when you lose a few buyins and set a strict stoploss. no more tilt spew make monies!

I notice you like to berate other players and call them bad when they make extremely standard plays which actually implies that YOU are in fact the bad one. Getting pissed at the shortstack jamming the NFD when you flopped a straight with AQJ5 is ridiculous. So standard that hand.

Its one thing to get a little tilted at your own bad play.

Its dumb to get tilted over stupid beats that you have no control over.

And its crazy to bitch at almost every hand you lose.

Are you the kind of person who suffers from massive road rage and shit too?

I use to have this problem (checking cashier), building a big roll helped me overcome this problem. I never check cashier now, pokerstars could rob money from me and I would never notice

reminded me of a post i recently read on reddit

"Don't think of your goals as a destination. This sounds cheesy, but hear me out. Decide you want to learn how to be good at something, like guitar. Don't think of it as "I want to become a guitarist." Think of it as, "I want to add 'playing guitar' to my daily activities." Instead of daydreaming about how awesome it will be to be/do that, think about what accomplishing that takes in your day-to-day. Don't sit around thinking about all the money and fame you'll achieve by being a rock star. Think about practicing chords, scales, and learning tunes." http://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeim..._night_when_im_trying_to_do_things_i/

Actually I have pretty much zero rage in all other situations. It seems I save it all for annoyance at the thing I can't control in poker. And obviously I know the short-stack isn't incorrect in that situation, the annoyance is just at not winning - so the complaint is a shotgun effect. It's not like I logically sit down and think they're bad for doing so.

In terms of "posting every beat" I post about 10%. Still a useless habit, but there are many many more than what you're seeing, which is what feeds into that rage that I need to deal with.

I totally +1 to this.

Yeah I like the idea of not looking at the results. As long as your BR is fine you should just focus on getting better.

For me, I have a job, and I am playing 10NL with 50 BI roll on a bitcoin website, and properly building one on Bovada starting with $150 on 5NL. I guess you don't have the luxury like me having a job, but hey, you are getting your masters and when you finish, you already can have a bunch of money by getting a good job and poker can be just your hobby right? And at the same time, you are already very smart, so just enjoy learning the game

Good luck overcoming your devil man! I know you can do it, it is not that big of a deal.

(BTW for me, now I only tilt at playing SC2 so I need to figure out a way to get back into that without tilting after every losing game lol)

You called me down on the river after turn went check check with J4xx on KJT47 with 3 diamonds on the board...

That was pretty ambitious.. you also snap called which I thought was odd... But good call still, I usually bluff that spot like 1/10 times, and I only did it because I had a diamond and Q8xx as blockers.

Was it a 3-bet pot? I'm calling pretty often with 2P in a 3-bet pot there. Especially after the turn check.

Do breathing exercises

Breath is the 1st step to emotional flow
