I used to be a tilt box but years have passed and I am older now. I have played millions of hands of this game with plenty of huge downswings and feel like I have seen just about anything. Especially live play is just rote at this point with automatic decision after another at a slow pace while often times i'm just on my phone to stay productive.
So tonight I'm in a 3/5 game at the local casino I go to and for the first time in as long as i can remember I just packed up and went home early out of tilt.
everyone 100 effective about. utg makes it 10, mp calls, I call with A4cc on the button, sb makes it 30 and utg calls and I call.
Flop is As7c4s.It checks around to me and i bet 75 and both call.
turn is the Qc making a AsQc7c4s board. Sb leads all in for a bit more than the pot like 380 into 320 or something roughly that size (we all have similar stacks; i cover utg and sb covers me by like a dollar) and I get ready to call while UTG goes into the tank for like 2 minutes. He is a huge donk and just thought the action was on me. When he realizes it is on him he snapcalls all in.
While UTG is sitting in the tank i was chillin figuring I was going to have to hit versus SB's AQ 90% or maybe his QQ if he was stubborn enough on the flop. He flashes his KJss to me though for some unknown reason thinking i already called or something iono so I perked up a lil when I saw I was the massive favorite. I call (obv calling no matter what).
SB shows KJss and UTG shows 103ss (lol live poker- why i put up with it though). Obviously river is the 5s or the 8s one of those. Owned
Pretty standard beat I mean I play PLO mostly so i see worse every other SNG. I literally almost never get tilted by results if anything I might get a little frustrated if I make a bad play but I don't really even do much of that anymore. I guess its just the time issue. Live is so slow I know its gonna be a couple days of grinding before I even find a spot that sweet again. I can't move up or open a bunch of tables.
Well i guess that is why i went home to play on Bovada

and think, there are some live people who go on massive heaters for months crushing without getting owned like that, variance tilt |

| I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time | |

seriously. there are straight up shitheads who've made 150k + in a single year. but it's hard to keep being mad/hold on to anger when you finally also see them lose every last dollar too.

Playing live is the only way I avoid tilt, that and only play with like 2 buyins so I cant really get bad beated too much. By the time I bust I've probably invested 3-4 hours anyway so I'm ready to go home. |

I was just playing live in Vegas for Superbowl weekend. Was nutty profitable even for a shitty player like me.
Guys were saying how Norcal is way less wack on rake the Los Angeles.
Good stuff on controlling the tilt.
Meet me Vegas in April, I'll be there for some work conventions but staying at the Wynn with my boss - gonna be boss, call me Cam. If not that weekend, we should go for a different UFC weekend and I'll lead you to the land of beautiful MMA money and we'll play some 2/3 and do some drugs.
