Yesterday I just bought my first real thing (even two from 1 shot!) from poker earned money:
The phone and the tablet cost me around 900$ and basically the purchase cut in half my BR. Its freaking awesome that I can have fun, relax and earn money, with which I can buy luxury items, which otherwise I wouldnt have bought.
Yet, not so long after the purchase, I sat down to play an MTOPS event - dont want to go in details, but it was a series of brutal badbeats (8-9 70/30 80/20 lost in an hour or so to runner-runner straights/flushes), which put me on a tilt and I was heavily upset. Even if I was right to be upset, after a while I was like:
WTF brain, you are upset cause you lost 40$ worth of BIs due to badbeats, but earlier you bought some cool things for 900$ which hopefully you'll get to use a couple of years and for which you earned the money from the same game - you are effing retarded.
Moral of the story - I need to not worry so much about badbeats, because I know they turn around in the long-term, but on the moment I let them to get to me and influence my game. I am now thinking to switch off the show cards option when you go all-in or just switch the windows to not care about cards that run out. Will have to figure out a way though to take notes of people stacking off light, etc.
Take care guys.

good job, now you have something to show for poker unlike people including me who get to 7k rolls jus to bust 80% of it before fully cashing out |
