Message: [QUOTE="LombardiStix, post: 1463169, member: 23031"] Very interesting topic. I think the key word in the equation is balance. You must balance your life in a way which allows all of that negative energy to escape through a positive form. This is the only way to deal/cope long term with the feelings you describe.... OR You must change the very feelings you are feeling. This would require some form of cognitive therapy (maybe not professionally), but it would take massive effort on your part to change your very thought process (intake) during your poker sessions. It may also help your results to consider each hand in a more objective form. The "distance" from the results of your game could help you evaluate your play and manage your emotional swings. Sometimes we also feel very strong negative feelings because we are risking TOO MUCH on your pocket aces holding up etc. So maintain strong BRing management as well. Good Luck, Stix [/QUOTE]
