a bad day Q_Q

u called the doom switch gods upon you three days ago

hahaha true that

I'll never get over that pic :D

rly today's biggest fail was myself which is why I'm really displeased atm

you set yourself up for disappointments when you blog about your results daily. it's something i could personally never do because it would affect my judgement way too much. it's really easy to think you're crushing the game because you run good for a while and you make it public and you start believing in it, and when it doesn't go your way you have enforced the belief that you 'deserve to win' or something, just because you've been winning. it's the main reason people tilt i think. they don't understand that there are two sides to the coin and if you are running abnormally hot it's going to come crashing sooner or later and it shouldn't affect your game because you should know it's going to happen. i don't tilt at all when i don't blog about my results and i'm never disappointed in my performance because of this, whereas i was scared to lose coming up in the low/mid limits and blogging often, and every time i had big losing sessions my play/mood was tremendously affected.

tldr; i found that playing to improve for myself and myself only, not making it too public how much money i was making was actually much better for my game and emotional stability.

I am currently running abnormally hot and know i'm about to die like no other in the next 2 weeks...so far I have had two sessions where i swing down over 3 buyins and back up which has been bad for me cuz it's been fucking me mentally while not even being a bad swing.

Standard.

If a you were a good tag AND you wouldn't get tilted at all you wouldn't play lowstakes.

I find boomswitches more tilting that doomswitches, as I pick up so many leaks that are really hard to get rid of afterwards.

This sounds to me like a bad communicator trying to say, "if you were a good player and you didn't tilt so much you wouldn't still be playing lowstakes".

So I said WTF you're talking shit to me for no reason?

I don't get it, and I am not sure you do either

apparently not

The more I try to understand it the more your sentence seems like completely unrelated Night wtf -.-
