Would the mental game come into existence if the results stayed in our favor? Variance is just a result good or bad? Start playing good variance in my favor, stop playing when bad variance is hammering my game? There is no fix because emotion is an inherited part of being a human; this will never change unless we do not exist. To make variance, tilt, a nothing it is not accomplished by control, to control something that is out of the existence of control? Fix something that is not within our control to fix?

To produce our “A” game it takes a certain amount of emotion to focus this amount is unique to each player. To manage emotion is what this player will be continuously working on just like playing poker to perform, compete with the freedom of thought has to be managed then used in the moment to compete or recognize when emotion is using our game. Not control restraint because to have true freedom winning, losing, results, good, bad have the same feel, adversity from success, failure reveals our character it does not build character. Building character takes additional movements from each player that is unique for each person.

This player has been working on the mental game for nine years but the last three seriously after buying Jared Tendler’s The mental game of poker and reading the book three times so far. Journaling my thoughts about poker, life, and my most private thoughts then to see them typed on a page should reveal itself to the “self”. The same way to repent for a sin, repenting does not earn forgiveness but rather it reveals our condition as to look in the mirror of our soul that reveals the conditions of the “self” as to acknowledge itself before, during, and after the sin.

This is a continuous journey for the mental game to be worked on not a start and stop of when it is good or bad that would lead me back to the mental game thus, it is who I am rather than outside my existence that needs to be worked on sometimes as a way to identify.

Then when it comes through my game as negative or positive emotion, this is to recognize emotion, when emotion is using my game rather than managing my emotions in the moment instead, then emotion reveals itself as concept to get to know; the same way as other concepts for example injustice tilt, monkey tilt, or other mental game terms that come from a book.

Get to know your emotions as a way to become better at managing them in the moment as a way to compete rather than a way to fix a concept that has no cure.

I agree with part of what you are saying here, but we also need to correct the faulty logic witch is making our emotions rise. A common example here, witch i believe will relate to most players.

Were playing a calling station and he sucks out on us and we lose a full stack, we get angry and start to make some wider isolation raise's, add some bluffs and lose some more...... Now what you are saying is we need to control the emotion anger, yeah that's true, but we also need to fix the faulty logic that we believe we should always win vs calling stations, once we correct that faulty logic, anger would no longer arise for losing against fish again, there could be more then 1 reason why we get angry.

I havent been very active on pokerstrategy recently, i have been playing and studying on paper, I am no longer tilting as hard, as i was before but it is still affecting my play somtimes.

maybe some software for stopping after certain losses or after dropping from your max profit by a certain amount would help... i know it affects me if i lose part of my profits for that day and I keep playing nevertheless
