I mean this hand was already great at this point, but then...

River Q

Through such a long time of playing poker, it has gotten harder for me to deal with downswings, which I could never quite put my finger on why that was. My mentality was like "shouldn't it be easier?"

I recently listened to this podcast episode by Jason Su which made it finally click for me, the reason it was harder was literally because of that mentality itself rather than any external factors. My tolerance for variance had actually improved, but my expectations for my tolerance** outpaced the actual improvement so I would repeatedly become frustrated with myself when I didn't meet those expectations.

He posts a ~5 minute long podcast on the daily I've been listening to as well, would definitely recommend checking it out.

**I almost never punt a buy-in these days, the hand posted just above here is as bad as it gets in the past 100k hands which is something I'm proud of, definitely would have been able to find much worse played hands due to tilt in the past!

lmfao thank you

Ummm does this book title + quote pairing make no sense to anyone else

Pharoahs’ tombs were historically deemed to be cursed.

Ergo, a “bizarre truth”.

^ OK fair enough

had one of my worst sessions in awhile

Haven't you seen the movie The Mummy?

Also, re: downswinging - I thought I'd react better to them over time too, but part of the reason I still take them hard is the realization that no matter how long I play, downswings are inevitable. The first $10k downswing sucked because of the $$; the second one sucked because I realized they were gonna keep happening. Hopefully the third $10k downswing I will just embrace my fate.

^ Ya everything always changes. Your mind, your expenditures, your long term goals. Good luck

Witnessed this great hand at the Bike 5/5 yesterday

^ Ya, I always chop. Can confirm at least one player in the hand above does not play for money though lol
