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. |
Here is one of the Taylor Caby articles I was talking about.
Interview with Taylor "Green Plastic" Caby
I've personally found that playing with way more room than I need within my bankroll has been really key to maintaining emotional control.
....the only time I kind of flipped out recently was when I was playing a bunch of heads up sessions and I had one showdown after another where I had the other person dominated and they would always hit their kicker...it was just relentless. I lost like 10 heads up matches in a row. But...it happens.
