I forgot to mention yesterday that I got really tilted near the start of the day because I was losing a lot of games after getting my opponents really short. Obviously once you get your opponent down to less than 10% of the chips in play, you expect to win very often because it’s pretty hard to come back from that. Yesterday I lost a lot of these games in a short period of time, though.
This tilts me more than almost anything in HU SnGs, which I’m sure I’ve mentioned before in this blog. I definitely got irrationally bothered by it yesterday, and I was way more upset than I should have been when it was happening.
I guess it goes back to that consecutive losses kind of thing. For some reason my brain can’t be content with the fact that yes, sometimes unfortunate things can happen all in a row. Yes I can lose 10 coin flips in a row. My brain knows it’s not likely and as such tries to convince itself that therefore it shouldn’t happen. But obviously I logically know that that’s not true, of course it can happen.
Anyway, just wanted to put that on the record since this blog’s original purpose was to keep track of the things that tilt me most.
