OK Im megatilted when playing on stars lately. I have no problems getting peoples chips in the middle WAY ahead and WAY to often in situations like AK vs AQ or AK vs 62 never hold lately.

I think Im playing my best poker right now and cannot believe I am close to busting when im playing this well. (Mind you this is my personal best, still not that great I suppose.)

JUNE: 75 Tournies in June so far - 5 cashes 2 wins
MAY: 54/317 In the money - 4 wins 7 2nd's
APRIL: 20/100 ITM and 0 wins

Can someone help....?

Ive taken some days off and played a few live events to cool off.... Then I come back, primed to take one down and replenish my Bankroll. Then This kind of thing happens...

Do you realize which forum you are in?

move down imo to 1$ sngs, 4 dollas is high class

move down to regular job.

Ok, I just set my Bad Beat Switch to "OFF"

lol @ asking for advice in BBV

Lol @ replenish BR with a 4 dolla tourney.

Damn, Are you more miserable than me? Kick a man when he's down why don't ya?

So this is basically a bonkers post as no one seems to take it seriously. O well I try to learn and improve and make myself and the games I play in better. I am not a pro, im an enthusiast, looking to improve. I come here to guidance and advice on how to handle aspects of this game I dont fully grasp yet. Most of the time you guys are good to me. Not sure why Im getting the smackdown for this post, but regardless....

Just remember you cant take my money if you kick me out of the game.

Thanks for honest advice I want to improve.

It's because you posted it in BBV.

But honestly, just take a break. Sometimes the best tilt control is just forgetting about it altogether. Read a book, play some video games, get some fresh air, or get some sexy time (best choice imo). Whatever can take your mind off of it for a while. If you're not doing it for a living, remind yourself that it's just a hobby.

hey Artie you're a class act, thanks a ton man. I was feeling pretty alienated there.

I am taking time off and will jump back in for 1 $4 180 each day I choose to play . I am going to set some new criteria for when I play and manage my game selection better.

I've been through this type of swing before and Its usually a combo of a few things like Some bad play coupled with too much play and a bad swing in cards all in the same 4-5 day span. (Each element making the problem exponentially worse.)

Regardless of the harassment I'll get for saying things like "Rebuild my roll w/ $4 180", "Playing my best poker" and other things. (pretty funny to observers I agree) I am certain that I am not the only player that battles with these things. If this discussion can help me or someone sort things out and keep the money and players in the game than its' GOOD for the game.

SEXY TIME HERE I COME...
