Read the discussion on mindset and stuff, and I have one thing to say that I just came to think of.

If you're a poker pro and have learnt to accept losing when you're a 97% favourite, why do you have such a hard time to accept that you also feel bad in RL sometimes? It's perfectly logical and it's nothing that makes you less of a human. I think it's even good sometimes because if you would never feel bad, i mean really feel bad, then u would never know when you feel realy good, because you would always be feeling good about it and therefore just recognise the good feelings as normal behaviour.

When your goal seems to be to not feel any emotions, you should also feel very worried whenever you are happy that you win a big pot with a suckout, but I guess you don't.

Just my thought on the topic.

but your bet was about nl rush ... not plo standard

but: what u think about a new bet on my rush plo 100 winrate? started playing a bit and looks like my winrate will be a bit hgiher than in my standard games :f_biggrin:

sure, pick a day (ahead of time) and i'll bet $50 that u make less than 20 buyins.

20 buy-ins
- what limit
- what timeframe (24 hours?)
- what game

i dont bet below 500$ tho :P

@ arisko: i feel happy when i make a good decision and feel bad when i make a bad one. i am indifferent to the outcome mostly, but not to the decision. still, although i dont care about the 1 outers mentally and keep playing what i consider a-game, my body sometimes dont act accordingly which makes it incredibly difficult to keep on a-gaming mode cuz i feel like throwing up sometimes

had a solid evening today:
- preflop champagne action
- dinner
- artistic theatre (dunno the english expression .. basically some sicko artistic moves in the air by crazy girls and one muscle man) - made the whole crowd freak out. insane what moves their were capable of ... _cool:
- postflop champagne action and strategy talks with some rly nice business guys (yeah u know, that type of ppl who work 9-7 for a living :f_biggrin: )

rdy to start late night grinding session :f_grin: now

i know, they are rly strict when it comes to gambling .... thats why i'm going to produce this "tt goes emirates" video series. that way i can do some useful poker stuff and dont need to play myself. also will use my time for reading some more trading stuff

already did 3 years ago, but will def. do it again

err that wouldn't make the slightest big of difference. - sorry that sounds a bit like a troll, didnt mean to be so sharp. but ye just think abt how a network works and u will realise what i mean!

but ye they might not filter it like that was just a thought!
