Somewhere on some level this makes sense

[Penguinfan]

One day, not soon I am sure, I will not run this bad every time I sit down. Today is not that day.

I can't see anyone defending his call preflop. I guess, MAYBE the shove on the flop makes sense with top pair, but not really.

Beyond that, no it does not make sense.

IMO, start analyzing your play more and your opponents' play less.

[jaeh00d]

those words are amazing, and its absolutely true. rather than every time you take a bad beat or are outdrawn to run to the forum to show everyone how unlucky you are. Or immediately copy and pasting it to your friend online over aim.

just realize it is part of the game and not always worry about what they do and how bad they supposedly played it. i am pretty sure you are making a lot more mistakes than you notice.

i am also pretty sure you truly do not comprehend and understand truly how thick and sick mtt variance can be.

i am not talking down to you, i was not born with the prestige logic. i didn't start becoming a long term winner until i fixed my attitude. i think attitude is just as big as skill if not more.

i have been a member of this forum for years. check out some of my posts from 2005 and 2006 to see the type of midget minded tilt box i was.

[Reel Deal]

That's a great point and great post jaeh00d. + rep for sure.

My bad, I thought it said this was the "Beats and Brags Forum" Whine/Gloat here.

What was I thinking?

[Talking Poker]

Yup. And your attitude is fine.

Alternatively, if you decide you'd like to improve someday, there is some good advice for you in this thread.
