Thats weird. I worked in banking for a while and everybody instandly understood it without any stupid questions

Yeah I mean... It's not complicated. Anyone can understand it if you explain it well enough. I find easiest way is to explain EV.

They were secretly judging you as a degenerate.

Work primarily with accountants. I'd have an easier time explaining EV to my dog.

quit and go full time pro then, not hard

quit posting, not hard

There was probably an 8 on the board at another table.

It happens. Probably the result of the brain attempting to multi-task, something we fool ourselves into thinking we do well, but cannot really.

haha you gunna have to take my word for this one lad

yeah literally missread the board, thought there was an 8 So so rarely happens to me, but it's literally so tilting to put that much $ into the bin for no reason

I find it's a real mixed bag

EV seems like an ok way of going about it, but to the average person EV may reiterate the luck element more than we may hope.

hahah

Yeah this may have been what happened. Stupid brain

I just thought I'd post this here as it pertains to the thread and I thought a few of you might find it interesting: Back in the day (3-5 years ago) I had the worst mental game you could have w/ online poker. Maybe not the worst as I wasn't literally breaking things but I was rage quitting and doing as bad as I could imagine overall psychologically. Things have improved drastically over the past 12 months on and off the felt. People change, though and I've changed a lot over the past handful of years. Chess used to relax me, intrigue me, and keep me awake for as long as I sat there. Poker would tilt me, confuse me, and the study was tedious. Now? After battling with Intertops to get my withdrawal and then dealing with some IRL stress, I took a week to play some Chess again. I can't do it. I love the game but it gives me anxiety, it's impossible to not play too much speed chess online, it makes me terribly hungry and irritable, and at the end of the day I feel like such a degen because no matter how well I did - Nothing tangible was actually accomplished or gained. So, I turned on some online poker about an hour ago and immediately: Calm, comfortable, relaxed, better mood and outlook.

I'm 36 now but I realize here pretty definitively that I'll never go further with Chess at this point. I couldn't imagine showing up to play a long tournament OTB but I could most certainly imagine sitting in the casino playing 2/5 all day and night. Poker has really changed the way I approach things on and off the felt and I can't think of one change that hasn't been for the better.

worst mental game ever and u didnt even break something LOL

ive been sitting grinding and my room mate has thrown his laptop into the wall while still in hands

Reported for account hacked by said roommate

Best to have a cup of tea/coffee nearby so you can break something not valuable.

lmao

smb???

At like 11 years old playing Sega Genesis and firing the controller through the wall when I got beat by the hardest computer setting in NCAA Football was the precursor to my early days of online poker. When I was around 20'ish I remember heading toward the Electronics Boutique in the local mall with my girlfriend to pick up a new controller and her saying "why don't we just stop throwing these through the wall and we won't have to keep coming here?".

So yeah - It's been a huge accomplishment to have not broken anything even in the darkest of my mental game days.

Thought nr1: lmao, what a silly degenerate

Thought nr2: It has probably cost me >5 laptops >10 times to not throw laptop into wall...

lmao
