Prob had one of my worst days ever where tilt is concerned today. I hadn’t been playing for more than an hour when I already felt very tilted by the way I was running, so I took a break to calm myself.
Things were okay in the middle of the session, but then they got very bad during the last couple hours. I was playing a really aggressive fish and was down 8 BI to him at one point. While I was obviously running really badly and overall playing fine, I don’t think I played my best. It took me a bit longer than it probably should have to figure out the optimal way to exploit him, which I’m a little disappointed about.
I would say that I was so tilted that I wanted to start crying and throwing things twice today, which is a lot of times considering it usually doesn’t happen at all. Sure I get tilted on a regular basis and bitch and complain, but not so badly that I want to start crying like a stupid little girl.
I’m glad that I wasn’t able to look at my results during the day. I still don’t know how much I lost. I think that most of my run bad was at my lowest buy-in, which didn’t provide me any solace while it was happening. I don’t know if it should, either, but I do know that I probably would have been even more tilted if it were at my highest buy-in instead (which is a bad thing).
It’s been a while since I tilted this badly playing poker. Obviously, like most tilted people do, I ignored suggestions to quit the fish I was losing to and take a break. I think it’s accurate to say that most people are incapable of quitting a fish that is running hot, even when they know that the fish is probably insta-quitting the rematches once they lose one (this happens 95% of the time). This is almost certainly very bad.
