Message: [QUOTE="Liveone1, post: 1654942, member: 38392"] @dwolf - Yeah, you're right. Too late to turn back now! lol @ Thekahh - Hey dude it's all good. I love opinions. I wasn't being defensive. I'm just trying to get into the freeroll club;) So far as your view of being result oriented is concerned I see what you're saying and it's really in line with my point which is that a persons perception of results, be they good or bad, is completely subjective. Bad beat's aren't really bad results at all (my result oriented mind's perception). They only appear to be on the surface. This is what long term variance is all about. So a result oriented mind that understands the true objective of poker can excel based on all results at the table at any given time and process them in a way that improves their game. It depends on your perception of a bad session or a bad beat. When someone sucks out on you do you say "Damn, oh well he got lucky that time." and keep it moving or do you say "I got him. I outplayed him. I made the right decision. I made him call or push all in with the worst of it.I couldn't be any prouder of myself. I have so much equity coming my way it's unreal. What a great result!:D" For me, the prior is impossible and I eventually crack when the bad beats push keep picking at me. It starts to sting and I feel like I'm lying to myself (turns out I am). I play best implementing the latter. Not only is it the truth, but it's the level beyond the level beyond the level.This part may be controversial, but the fact is that bad beats really aren't unlucky. Suck outs represent your opponent getting what little equity they had coming to them. The only reason it hurts so badly is because your opponent doesn't just get 2% of a huge pot, while you take 98%, when they suck out. They take the whole thing. Prioritizing how different results matter is the key. I'll have $200 in an account and start a blog within 2 weeks to elaborate on all this. I'll be grinding MTT 27 person SNG's. They treat me well [/QUOTE]
