I think tilt always affects your game...

Yes, some times I tilt. As I told in my blog I punish myself to look at least 2 episodes of some Finnish soapy serial when tilted so I try not to tilt very often:f_wink:

Well, nonetheless, thanks for the "learning to win is learning to lose" saying! How true is that!! going to keep it.

Hope it turned around by now for you.

Maybe you are over-prioritizing the poker career in your life? Like does your life end when the opponent doesn't call your turn bet in one hand?

By the end of the day, I have a hard time losing big or important hands, while making the right plays and good calls.
Or villain making a bad call and sucking out with hands that I would have folded. (guess I'm missing suckout spots...)
Reaching top 5 in major mtt's, then the doomswitch is swithed andI miss every flop and every out... What a cruel game...

I share you feelings. Maybe reading my latest postings in my blog could help you also? It's a PLO-blog but I see some similarity in your situation with mine.

Whenever I had a bad run, I took a few days off to reset my head. When I'd get in a bad head state, I couldn't see myself making the mistakes that cost me as much as the bad-beats. I hope your run of bad luck clears up soon.

I have been thinking about GG lately, as I seem to run below EV pretty much all the time in there. And then I hear a lot of bad beat stories, and quite often they are played at GG. I am not the first or second to scream "rigged games", I have been sure that the online game was rigged once in my life, and according to internet and my own eyes it was the case (Indian game provider, closed player pool. Go figure!).

But if we think about everything that GG has done, is really screams non-transparency and no love for strategical +EV players. Latest thing is just banning people for running tracker on background by accident, without warning or possibility to discuss about it. Seems like an excuse to get rid of winning players, that hurt the player pool economy. Now HOW surprised would you be, if it would turn out that they have rigged the rng to slightly favor losing players?

I know it's most likely not the case, and rng comes from different provider etc. But the odds are above zero. If there would be news that the rng was slightly rigged to favor recreational (=losing) players "to ensure healthy economics for player pool", how surprised you would be on scale of 1-to-10? For me it would be a lot lower than on other sites, which kinda tells a lot.
