As the title suggests, my day was up and down. In particular up at the start and then a cliff dive at the end. I felt like I was having a great day until my last hour or so. During the last hour I lost almost every game I played, including 13 straight games to a fish that ran super hot.
I felt really bad while that fish was winning. It was mostly because I hate losing, but also because it was at $200s so it added up to a lot of money. I think it’s safe to say that the little losing streak I had vs that fish un-did the rest of my day. And it’s stupid to think that way, but I can’t help it.
Other things I couldn’t help doing was saying stuff like, “Why wouldn’t that hold” when unfortunate cards fell and also sweating my show downs super hard once we were all-in. I guess that once it gets to this point I should probably stop playing? I’m not sure how much my play drops off once I’m this tilted, though. I should possibly review some HH’s tomorrow and find out.
I really wish today was Saturday so that I could take a day off. But sadly tomorrow is Saturday, so another day I guess.

Haha thanks for posting that. Might have to take a page out of his book then?
It seems you tilt quite often, mostly when you encounter people playing better, those whom you call “fish”. Perhaps your tilt issue comes with your attitude, perhaps you should look at your game instead of somebody else striking luck. My two cents.
Thanks for the thoughts! I will say that just because someone is winning, it doesn’t mean they’re playing better. I’ll also say that I review my game on a daily basis. You’re certainly correct that my attitude could use adjusting, however.
