It’s because when you’re not involved it’s easier to see than if you are.
This i agree with 100% those saying you know is emotions? I have played probably 20,000
hands i have won a ton of money i critique self regular myself...I have learned every way possible i go over my hands.....SEEING IS IMPORTANT....what my statements on myself is saying I DONT HAVE these emotions honestly not anymore but I ALSO every dime i spend i can burn seriously this money i throw into a game is MEANINGLESS i have emotion maybe on how sick I feel at the moment...I know i have cognitive issues from 23% of blood oxygen to my brain and started over 10 years ago 9 was 4 major heart attacks blood clots etc...I am dying I came to terms with that a long time ago
This is ok when I feel terrible my play shows cause will take risks maybe wouldnt but lets look at yesterday....had pocket 9s had went down two hands in a row won pockets 1 hand....top pair on board with king jack no hmm flush or str8 possible....villian had kk....i felt he had kk but taking me down to 2300? from 3400 was ok i finished very early but had 99 2 hands later vs jj wasnt gonna let that go with 8 high flop....If FELT great healthier maybe i throw out but doubt it....Didnt mind losing just am up front about how i feel....I felt ok that day cards were not there
this was thursday 2pm platinum but i Was good taking the risk etc...it happens its poker....See this is why its easy to put emotion out of it...Im not sure was RIGHT DECISIONS but im sure THAT DAY FOR ME ? I trust the process and played that process to my best ability for that moment that day
So if you have emotions? You want to own them make rules so it dont matter....SIDE NOTE trump elon? They can say IDGAF vs everything and everyone that is another level of freedom I live life though not a billionaire like that at this point my bills are paid i got over 700 credit rating in over a year cause is a new world and needed credit for first time in years...I have few k in bank etc...all of this matters in life and especially poker to me....I hope this helps someone....Biggest thing about poker if its your job its very hard very demanding if NOT REMEMBER ALWAYS why your playing im not playing to get a million dollars im playing out of LOVE of competition i was the point guard i was the quarterback etc...i went and got the whole block of people to play games as a kid i owned businesses and was the boss....everything i use in poker i use in life meaning i keep a full life outside of poker...its no longer a job ITS FUN that is all
FREEDOM work on that play for the love work on different ways to study work in groups work with a coach whatever works with you...I play poker differently probably then anyone i know here....Its more intuitive then anything else even though im a logic based person...The numbers do not matter as much as my gut ever
Others will 100% disagree I get that im not sure they have been as successful as me though
Some are a lot are not...Is not winning every time every day for me so I go more and more to the side of intuitive play over numbers based
I am not doing as well as like but been sick a long time again so accept that is part of the equation
