I wrote [URL="https://www.cardschat.com/forum/general-poker-13/how-hard-it-control-your-emotions-494726/#post6210435"]a post in another thread[/URL] about emotions and about "expectations".  I believe that losing our expectations of winning a particular hand is a key to success and a key to becoming a 'good poker player'.  When I see someone getting emotional over a poker hand, I realize that person still has a lot to learn at the game, they still have a long way to go before they 'get good' at the game.

It is perfectly natural as a human being to get emotional - I'm not saying we all need to turn into robots without emotion, don't misunderstand my words in that post...  we should NEVER lose the JOY of playing this great game we all love so much... but we certainly should never get mad or angry or upset over the results of any 'bad beat' or 'cooler', because it is just one hand in a lifetime of poker hands.

From reading your words, it sounds to me like you have made much progress in poker, and you are well on your way to becoming a good poker player.  Congratulations!  Just remember, lose the anger but never lose the joy.  :D
