That's what that is.

My point about being emotional was...........if you are suffering from a lack of confidence.. then therefore, you are indeed playing emotionally. Think about it. You are feeling frustated, sad, depressed may be anger. Who knows, varies from different individuals.

It wasn't meant as rude, offensive or impolite. So get off your high horse.

Disliking your posts more and more wray. Just because you don't think that you were rude/offensive/impolite really doesn't mean you weren't. Just apologize to the guy dude.

I dunno if I'm like being extra sensitive today or something but seriously you are striking some nerves.

2.So get off your high horse.
Point 1. taken. If that's what you meant than fine. There have been certainly times where my lack of confidence has made me miss certain spots. Which you can certainly claim to be playing sub-optimally.

Point 2. You are a ****** douchebag. I didn't get on my high horse, i tried to explain to you how i felt on the issue. If it wasn't meant as rude or offensive that would have been fine. But you have to add this, why? Because your a ****ing douchebag. Once you go on a 60BI downswing and you aren't constantly whining about it in regs thread etc then come back and talk to me. In the meantime gtfo my nuts, you have no credibility whatsoever.

Wray, you came off as condescending and rude. Your "high horse" comment therefore was quite ironic, and I am not even a reg or know the others here at all, so I assure you I am not biased.

No beer surpasses a good cocktail.

I even gave my go at everclear a weekend ago to see how I could fair. Everclear+Sprite+Mountain Dew was even awesome. My only mistake was making a 4th cocktail of it, then mixing a 5 hr energy into that cocktail. 20 minutes after my first sip my friends said after talkin non stop ****talk on the phone and to eachother I went dead silent for 10 minutes..stood up out of my chair and ran to the bathroom, puked all over the ground before I could make it..was still a blast tho

Edit: Story sounds like it could get better but no...all i remember was fonding puke in the bathroom trying to scoop it up with my hands into the toilet. Then woke up at 8 am buttnaked feeling 100% ready to go. Everclear has no hangover effects believe it or not

Might sound stupid but the reality is that downswings are a part of the job, they may be the **** part but we have to deal with them regardless of whether we want to or not (OR if we're Spamz )
You can't change the past so you can only deal with the future and your future actions, try to focus on that.
I've been on a break even stretch the last full month, playing approx 30 hours a week. Been way below expectation but w/e my ev increases as I play, so i'm not faulting my play. It has been the worst stretch for me in probably 2+ years and it definitely is frustrating.

With that said, I definitely notice spots where if I were on my best game, i'd be extracting max value and not checking/limiting chips entering the pot b/c i'm afraid he has me or b/c i'm seeing monsters in the closet.


I really like the "its part of the job" quote because tbh I think I (and others often?) lose sight of this on a day-to-day basis when just accepting these bad runs come with the territory and are the reason we can make money. Bad players who have the run good horseshoe are under the illusion that they can beat the game (or something like that) and imo its part of what keeps some players coming. So, ironically, we should be happy about it and just keep the big picture in perspective.

When I do this, I found my confidence to be unaffected. Because I either find that I lost from coolers and played well, or I found things in my game that are lacking and I make a note of them. I am probably one of the few players on this forum that actually knows what a lot of their own weaknesses are. If you know your weaknesses, and know when you take a beat, your confidence remains through the rough times.
I've always found the content of your posts to be well worth reading. I should probably begin reviewing my HH's after sessions more diligently in the future, especially considering i'm running really bad atm.

Last sentence is necessary because... ?

Emotion is part of everything you do as a human being..even wiping your ass.. so I guess I just don't understand why it was part of your initial equation? Fwiw I don't think you meant to be rude earlier, but damn, this last sentence ^^ imo isn't going to diffuse any ill intended statements.

lol looks like you beat me to it... its true though, I highly doubt he'd say this to your face over something that supposedly was not meant to be rude in an earlier post.

seems to me like wray was mostly just saying that losing can lead to playing emtionally which can lead to playing bad. didnt seem to me like he meant to imply he knew anything about mjw's game in particular and was speaking in unoffensive generalities until everyone jumped on him.

but what does taking the piss mean?

Meh, its really none of my business I guess, but this is the hu sng thread so...

My pet peeve though is when people act like something they aren't simply because its ok to be a keyboard warrior online. Do you really think he'd say to get off his high horse to his face in a not jokingly manner? I just don't see it happening..

idk seems like hes a bit of a sejje try hard imo, sejje can get away with being blunt and talking in a certain way because thats what he does and we all really him. This douchebag thinks he can talk in the same manner to whoever the **** he wants and it'll all be cool with everyone. I think he intended for his OP to be rude, and the fact he added the high horse thing shows he really is a douchebag.

hey guys.. i'm about to post this on craigslist.. for any of you guys that have a PA.. anything i should add/edit/tweek? Let me know...

Hi -

I'm a professional poker player who resides in Bethesda, MD (Chevy Chase to be exact). I am looking for a PA to help out for the next 6 months (there will be several off weeks during the duration). Tasks include delivering breakfast, lunch, performing laundry, cooking dinner, perform dry-clean pick-up/deliveries, and other tasks, etc. I will guarantee 10 hours of work per week, with a maximum of 15 hours, per week.

I am looking for a dependable, reliable individual whom absolutely has references that are verifiable. Preferably this individual is between 18 - 25 and a current local college student that is looking for side income during the week. An interview is definitely required. Cooking duties are essentially limited to the ability to cooking 'healthy' meals at my house. All expenses will be reimbursed with receipts. I am offering a rate of $25 per hour, $250 minimum per week. This will be taxable through my LLC.

Please let me know if you are of interest and we can arrange an interview. Resumes are required prior to interview.

Thank you.

Jay
