Message: [QUOTE="Tobysonoma, post: 2467310, member: 119594"] So I'm writing about how to,deal with losing sessions so they don't emotional tear me apart where I can't focus on anything else. When I have a bad losing session I can't help but dwell on it and shut myself down for the rest of the night and need to stop it as it is seriously unhealthy. I know it's a game of variance. I'm usually pissed at myself for not establishing pot control on a hand or raising enough pre or post flop to get someone out, but I literally shut down emotionally and just can't deal. Have you found any form of meditation etc. that helps with this. I had my good buddy stack me three times in a row for $800 in a 2-5 game and then couldn't get drinks with him after and just had to go because I could not be social. I'm not a sore loser or someone who blames the dealer etc. just literally I get in this state where for about 3 hours I just can't deal. And I don't want it to continue as I am taking a shot at playing for a living and play about 40 hours a week for the last 6 months. If I can't find a way to control this I feel I will have to give up the game as it is unhealthy and will eventually have a wife and kids one day and don't want to bring this stress back home to them. For example tonight I literally managed to miss every draw and not flop one set all night (not complaining) and my one big pocket pair in 7 hours was chopped and missed my flush for my last hand losing 1.8 buy ins. I just get in this state where I have to be alone and can't emotionally deal. Please help with anything that helps. I know it's a game of variance and running bad is part of it. I just want to be able to lose a session and still function as oppose to having this weird cloud over my head after. Fwiw writing this is helping right now. Thanks a million [/QUOTE]
