TraptSteve 0 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Well I got the job at my family business... here comes the disposable income!Goals :- Identify when I'm on tilt/playing poorly and leave- Play more tournaments- think positively- enforce strict table selection (leave a game if the line-up isn't juicy)The biggest obstacle is managing my emotions during a losing streak. It is what made me a losing player in the past... Link to post Share on other sites
wsox8 10 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 congrats on the job and good luck at the tables. I like your first goal. If you aren't playing well or are stuck don't be afraid to leave the table. I know that's one of the hardest things for me to do. Link to post Share on other sites

wsox8 10 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 gl! if i never played when i was tilted/tired/hungry i bet i would be up alot more money!Yeahhhhh. Being tired is an issue for me too. I don't usually notice how tired I really am until I misread one of my cards or complete butcher a hand. Hehe. It's always hard because I want to get in as much time on the weekends as possible.

wsox8 10 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 There's always another game.yeah good point. Also, on that note, there's always another hand. I used to/sometimes still have a problem. When I figured I was behind and I'd call anyway instead of realizing that there were always going to be more hands where I could make it up. Gahh I can be stupid sometimes.
