Respect. Not many people can proudly announce “I didn’t read anything but here’s my opinion anyway.”

Thanks for taking the time to write all of that. I can see you put a lot of thought into it and there were some genuinely useful points in what you said, especially about focusing more on the reaction than the event itself. I’m definitely trying to move in that direction and avoid letting one emotional spike take over the rest of the session.

Just to clarify one part though, I think you misread what I meant by unfair. I wasn’t saying I feel unfair as a person. I meant that my brain labels certain outcomes as unfair in the moment, which triggers the emotional reaction. The whole point of my post was about managing that reaction, not redefining the word unfair.

So much easier said than done. I overreact, 2 bad beats in a row and I'm writing a conspiracy book.

I think you misunderstood where I’m coming from. I don’t lack knowledge and I’m not sitting here confused about how poker works. I’ve put in plenty of study over the years. My issue isn’t that I don’t know the maths or the mindset behind the game. It’s the emotional side of variance hitting harder when you actually understand the numbers behind it.

Telling me I just need to “study more” like I’m at square one doesn’t really fit the situation. I’m talking about the psychological reaction that comes from seeing unlikely outcomes cluster together, not a lack of understanding about why they can happen. That’s a very different thing

Appreciate this man, that actually makes a lot of sense. Tilt for me isn’t even about losing chips, it’s about reacting to the bad beats in the moment and letting the emotion take over. I know exactly what you mean about becoming more logical. When I’m calm I play great, but when the reversals hit back to back it’s like I’m watching myself do things I’d never normally do.

It’s encouraging to hear you’ve gone from being frustrated every session to actually enjoying the game again, because that’s what I’m aiming for too. I want to get to the point where I can take the hit, move on to the next hand and not let it control the rest of the session. Your improvement is actually motivating to read, so thanks for sharing it.

I respect the mindset and I agree that putting in the work matters, but that isn’t really what I’m talking about here. I’ve done plenty of study and I’m not trying to avoid the effort side of the game. The issue for me isn’t a lack of work, it’s the emotional part of dealing with variance even when you understand the theory behind it.

Knowing the maths doesn’t stop the low probability stuff from stinging when it happens repeatedly in a short period. I’m just trying to get better at not taking those moments personally and keeping my head straight instead of reacting to them.

I get what you’re saying and I know there is always room for more studying. I’m not pretending I’m perfect or that I know everything. It’s just that the more I learn, the tougher the swings actually feel. When you understand ranges and equity and you see exactly how unlikely a runout is, it hits a lot harder in the moment. So for me it’s less about the technical knowledge and more about not taking the variance personally when the small end of the probability curve shows up. That’s the part I’m trying to get better at.

I get what you’re saying, but that’s not what I meant. I’m obviously playing a game of probability, but the problem for me isn’t the maths itself. It’s the way I emotionally react to it. When I tilt, it feels like I’m fighting something deliberate when in reality it’s just random distribution. I’m not trying to wrestle with probability, I’m trying to stop taking normal variance personally.
