I like to play poker as well, although I believe working on my business yields a lot more in experience and in money over the long run.

I am having trouble with the emotional control. In normal live I am almost always happy and can remain in that aura through almost any circumstances. Poker is definetely one of those things that is able to turn my emotions upside down. If I lose 3 sit'n'gos in a row I swear and I really have to stop playing.

I am still in doubt if this is good, because I can learn to not let this effect my 'self' or if this is bad because it is one of the things that possibly gets me into lower states of consciosness temporarily.
