I'm getting a lot better, been trying to play and study almost every day since about August. I think I could be a winning player if I could just utilize more self control, and perhaps pay more attention while I'm playing. I catch myself not paying enough attention a lot.

PT3 has me at 26/13 the past 10k hands. A vast improvement from where I started. It's showing as well. I am winning much more consistently, and losing less when I lose. I feel like I could easily be a winning player if my patience and self control could improve. This is mostly due to a pretty slow/boring/bad session, It starts with mild impatience and frustration and ends with a big 0 under my name. This is especially true when I get it in against what I feel is a weak player with a marginal hand.

Opponent here is 46/6/1.75 over 131 hands.

45/14/6 over 30 hands here.

Both are ridiculous bad tilt on my part and just plain stupid. If I could just avoid having my 1-2 sessions a week like this. I feel I could easily become a winning player. I need to just find a way to avoid/combat the frustration. Perhaps this is something that is just learned after you lose this way enough. Either way it is certainly the biggest leak in my game. Any tips for dealing with this sort of irrational behavior?

Before last night these looked much better. Last night my stupidity decided I need NL25 and NL50 in the negative.

Before last month I was almost exclusively a 6max/HU player but I was having a bad run, worse than my usual suck. So i switched to FR and am enjoying it far more, and was almost all in the green until I decided that I don't like winning. lol. In FR though I think I could do much better than I am, and I am certainly dedicated and determined. I just need to relax.

can't read the first hand, but second one is just bad spew, and those stats aren't even dependable based on 30 hands

to live the dream you gotta play the game

Yea, both are quite spewy....

and yea 30 hands doesn't mean much of anything, was just providing the information because it seemed like the thing to do, heh.

I'm rolled for NL10 but I always end up playing NL25 or NL50 because I'm retarded. lol.
