tilting and worst day ever... |
 |
1 | |
So I played a morning session on nl200 and ran pretty bad again and dropped like $700. No huge beats but ultra cold decked etc. I was playing quite good, not tilting. The cards and opponents weren't just cooperating. I decided to play a nl100 session in the evening and I chose to play on FTP. So I opened 6 tables but the soft is pretty slow so I opened 2 more. This alone was a mistake since I was planning to play 4 tables for the rest of the month. But that's not all. I was still kinda bored and I decided to lag it up a bit and was playing like 30/25. I got bad beat once and started tilting.. After like 20 minutes I also tried to make a bluff on the river when 150bb deep which would be pretty good if I had a normal image, not a maniac one.. After this hand I was down $300 and switched off FTP immedietaly. I'm really pissed off now. At myself. Not because I dropped $700 on nl200. Not because this is my worst day in poker (-$1000). But because I was fkin tilting. I thought that I got rid of this problem but unfortunetaly not. My discipline really sucks.
My roll dropped to about 5,5k so it's no that terrible but I'm going to get back to nl100, at least till the end of this week. If on Monday morning my roll will be above 6k I'll take another shot at nl200 - and if I drop to 5k I'll get back to nl100 again. What do you think about it? 5-buyin shot is anough or should I give myself more "space" for the usual swings when I move up?
The only thing I'm glad about is that I switched off FTP immedietaly after I realised that I'm almost tilting like crazy instead of trying to win my monies back by playing like a donk. I'm really going to try to work hard on my discipline and hopefully this situation won't repeat in the future. I don't really know why it happened this time. I was only 3,5 buyins down for the day and like 5 buyins down total after moving up to nl200. I think it's just the fact that I was afraid that it's gonna be like 3rd unsuccessful attempt to move up to nl200. But it's not an excuse and it shouldn't happen for sure. And it won't in the future. Meh, I feel really ashamed. Me stupid.
I also cashed out all my monies from FTP cause their software is so tilt-tempting. In the last 2-3 months I tilted like 3 times and everytime it was on FTP. Plus they've got these very tempting HU cash games but like a month ago I told myself I won't play them in the nearest future and I'm gonna stick to it. So no I've got my roll on PP and i4 and I'm gonna play these sites exclusively. I might give FTP a quick shot if they give my reaload bonus soon cause they've did it once not long time ago when I cashed out everything.
Ok enough of that shit. No more poker today. Time to relax a bit and watch some tv series etc. Oh, and remember - do not tilt.

LOL at FTP software being "tilt-tempting". I actually agree with you though, haha.
But seriously, my advice would be to keep playing, and keep building your edge so much to the point where you feel that you can beat anyone at the stake you are playing at. When you feel like you have an edge on everyone, tilting just seems ridiculous and you will be a lot less likely to do it.
If you seriously do have tilt problems, I kind of have them. Whenever the money seems like it matters when i get bad beat too much I know there is a problem. My reaction was to just build my BR so large that when I move up stakes the money still feels irrelevant and its all about the poker... cause thats when i like to play, when its all about enjoying the game. |

the FTP is tilt-tempting because it's still unoptimized when you multi-table on resized tables. That'll send anyone on tilt except for me. |
