If it is im going to use it consistantly now

I think it was some short circuit between outsider and bystander. I didn't even got it until your post.

None taken. "In my sleep" meaning easily, without even noticing or due to bad beats?

$215 means 21.5 buyins for me and since I won some hands too, it was actually about thirty.

Anyway, wins and losses are a very subjective thing. Maybe a week from today I'll see it differently too. Some hands from months ago I still can't forget...

OP, there are thousands of people regularly post on this site.

Why do you think you are the only one special enough to post in a different colour?

It's not the amount lost that makes it the worst, but the number of bad beats, missed draws &c.

If you guys lose money easily and happily, if you enjoy getting bad beats from total donks, I don't mind. Just don't expect me to do it. I know it happens and I'm not whining about it, just wanted to tell the story.

Everybody's special, so everybody should post in their own color! Why don't they? Scared, aren't they?

How can everyone post in their own colour? There are only 40 to choose from.

In doing so, you have immediately alienated yourself from the vast majority of this site. Nothing you have to say will ever be taken seriously.

I suggest you create a new account and act sensibly.

Everybody knows that the "solid poker" is just a ploy by the sharks to keep their edge!

Here's your problem. That's what tilt is, people seem to want to define it as open shoving every hand, but it works more subtly than this. If you get 2-outered or w/e and are down a BI, you may as well just quit for a couple hours, you're highly likely to do something stupid.

I also must express my surprise at how friendly and compassionate some of you guys are. You seem so mad at me, an outstander would think I was the one who gave you all those bad beats and took your money. Actually I'm not surprised at all. Being friendly is a huge weakness today, at least it's regarded as weak, gay or weird. Brute force is what really counts. So little has remained of a Christian culture of tolerance and understanding. A quote from Mel Gibson's "Payback" comes to mind: "If you don't understand it, kill it!"

P.S. Why bother replying to a post at all? Is this "controlled aggression" adapted from the poker table to everyday life?

don't worry about all the negatives on this forum, tbh, 2+2 is not a very friendly forum. Maybe it's because **** like this happens to all of us, and we are all tilted without knowing it.

it's tough that you lost so many BIs in such a short time, but many in here likes to equate worst day to most money lost, and couple of hundred dollar is really not much here. Just ignore the negative and study the game, I know you think you played well, and that might be true, but there are tons of stuff that you can learn always. Also, check out pokerev software see how bad that software thinks that you are running, it will help you understand the swings better IMO.
