Your worst downswing experience? - Page 8

Woah boys, is HU being waged? I'll play both of you if interested Wobbly/Marshall.

I'll make a quick comment on the whole pride/arrogance issue:

their display irritates most people but that is not enough for someone to call them fundamentally bad traits. People are offended when someone shamelessly claims superiority in any field (in essence shouting "prove me wrong" or "you are weak" to the world), it makes them look at their flaws in that field and feel bad about being powerless. Instead of giving a promise to themselves to get better and succeed where they previously failed they prefer to condemn the person who accuses them of being weak as a sinner, someone who fell to the universally known "evil" of pride. Christianity has influenced our civilization for centuries in this matter and given that it is a religion that has spread widely mostly by focusing on pleasuring the ears of the weak, one should be insightful enough to reevaluate such mannerisms (or simply because it is a religion in general).
It is certain that people find joy when they make a promise to themselves and manage to keep it ("I'll be the best" ), it is the joy of climbing over others, of feeling (and actually being) better than them. Not expressing them would be hypocritical on their part, people accusing them for doing so even more.

Note that I'm not actually commenting on wobbly or his lifestyle/what he has said to people as I don't really know a lot about him other than that he's great at poker. I don't even want to touch the subject of whether pursuing excellence in poker or starcraft (or other random stuff let's say tetris or juggling balls) is anything really ever worth bragging about. I also prefer it when people who focus and thrive on what I consider a superficial activity show more humility, but that's because I find that when they do that it implies that it came easily to them, they did it while still understanding that it's somewhat silly to do so; they have already proved to me that they know how to make a tough promise to themselves and they show such excess of power of will that they minimize their victory (or have the class to fake it to achieve the same result).

tldr: the motivation behind every moral accusation has always been of egoistical nature (and that's not necessarily bad). Pride has the potential of being a helpful trait

"Pride has the potential of being a helpful trait."

Pride in what you have become through what you have surmounted: yes. Pride in what you do? Not so positive. In Nietzschean terms, what matters is 'becoming who one is'. The value should be found in what we become through what we do, not in taking excessive pride in what we do.

Anyway, there's much else to say about the will to power and the ways in which it expresses itself and whether it is bad or not but I don't have time right now and it's probably not the thread to get into it either.

wobbly,

you always sucked at poker, it finally caught up to you. you were also a huge scumbag, which I assume will catch up to you in whatever you do next, assuming some fat asian chick doesn't roll on top of you and suffocate you first.

There is still a shit load of poker we dont know and we are still fish, you are simply not adapting and im not talking skill wise but as Ket said, you cant 24 table 1knl and expect to bulldoze it.

If you are burned quit, but dont blame skill cap on it, because we are not even close to it.

Also rofl @ Marshall, you keep blogging about how you are not an idiot anymore yet you challenge to a heads-up a player with 10 times your bankroll and skill... smart.
