When you run into a massive bad beat and it doesn't even phase you at all... Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I think I've gotten to the point where I expect bad beats to happen so when they do it's just business as usual and I don't even react to them. I guess this is a side effect of playing so many sngs lately.

I strive to be indifferent, but have yet to achieve it, good job.

I got sucked out on in a $300 pot playing the last hand in a home game earlier tonight and I just looked at the board and smiled. On the one hand it was kind of zen-like, but on the other kind of scary because it means I could just continue to lose fairly sizable amounts of money and think nothing of it.

I guess poker really distorts your valuation of currency. I know if someone had stolen my wallet, I'd be insanely pissed even if it had only half that in it.

There is a difference between losing money and losing money and making the right decision and getting sucked out on, dont forget.

congratulations, the more indiferent you become towards bad beats the more your tilt will be under control.

Nowadays I really don't do anything at all when I get sucked out other than saying 'oh well'
