Man oh man, just got back from some live NL50. As I type this I cant help but stare at the screen damage I have inflicted on my monitor, all from sessions that were about half as bad as tonight's. Yet I am quite happy, feeling content, and in a good mood. Why? Because I played live. I lost to so many bad beats, but yet there I was, laughing and patting them on the backs, it was all in good fun. I came with 2 fucking buyin's, didnt stress one bit, and played my A game as if I had 50 buyins. This is what I've been talkin about, playing online just sucks so bad for me. I cant believe how easily I tilt online and yet live doesnt bother me at all. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I should simply stick to live play. What a good night. I'm sitting there shipping A6o from the SB knowing it's good and wanting them to call, and I get obliged by 67s, and lose. No worries I got it in ahead. Then I ship AKo the very next hand and get called by 77 and win. At this table I'm playing for value, I'm literally fist pumping when they turn over a dominated hand. Online I'm literally squeamish hoping they dont somehow suckout. This is a huge fucking problem for me as a poker player. Basically everything I do online I do backwards. I mean I play for value the same way but do it for different reasons, I dont know how to describe it. In any event, tonight's session even further solidified the reality that I should just stick to live play. I still havent deposited online per my plan to take a silly shot at the shallow tables on stars, and now I'm realizing this will just be a recipe for disaster when I lose my 4-5 BI's to some fish. But I can take that same money and play those same limits live and be totally happy about it.
Oh yeah, I somehow miraculously broke even tonight, to the dollar from my initial buyin.

haha i always have this foreboding feeling of imminent doom, when i get it all in with the best hand. Online I tried doing this thing where I would be like 'awesome, got it in good' then look away. but then i always look back as the river hits while playing like 10 other tables just to see THAT card hit mehh. |

You need a way to control your emotions. I get just like that, live is fine because it feels more social while live it is all about the benjamins(or nickels in my case). We need to become more like robots, but thinking robots, with brains err.. you get my point
good luck live ship em |
