Message: [QUOTE="awmm1983, post: 2236138, member: 96460"] Thanks for the reply. I have only been playing 6 months and still feel the nerves. I had been grinding turbo's and have only last week moved to 6 max cash. Perhaps the jump for joy was connected to the torture that is constant push / fold. I still feel happy though when i've been playing a reg for a stretch and we have a meta battle which i win. Based on data and observation and logic ( well , perceived logic :). ) I still feel stupid when i have a set, c/r the turn and pay off a straight or a flush. I am comfortable with that though because after all that push/fold i am finally learning real poker. I am also enjoying the pace. Fast , yet no rising blinds.. It's like a zen moment. I do not feel scared about 3 betting or playing big pots because the turbos made me accept the reality of pushing rubbish. This time around though, i have the time to have the goods. I've learned that this time i can 3 bet fold and save a packet. So in a way you are right i guess. Removing negative emotions is essential, however, if you have no positive emotion at my stage , i feel you won't have the confidence to get involved in pots and learn from trial and error . And error.... :p I can understand the monotony of it all. Over time i guess it must get stale.But I like the challenge just now . I love games. I'll never be a footballer. I'll never score the winning goal for Scotland that beats Spain in the World Cup final. I might just, in time , be a decent poker player and i won't have to retire at 35 because my legs have gone . And i won't have to work for the man. :) You may say i'm a dreamer..... I agree also in the principle that we shouldn't let poker take over our lives , that we can be a rock at the table and a river away from the game , however, most people don't behave like this. We as a species find it hard to let go of anything ! I'm happy to hear you've solved this :) [/QUOTE]
