Message: [QUOTE="Jonny03UK, post: 1991536, member: 91524"] I think this is a serious problem of mine when playing poker and I think it's going to be a hard, if not impossible, problem to fix. Problem is in general I've always been a tight guy, strict with my money and generally pretty good with it too. I've inherited it from my Dad who is perhaps the tightest man with money I've ever known. If he can save money on something... he WILL save money on something. Because of his ways, it's just naturally passed on to me and not being the richest guy ever, I tend to save money and watch my spending too. Money isn't a problem but I kind of just don't like spending. So obviously this translates into poker in the fact that I do not in any way like to see money go. Meaning even if it's a +EV decision and a donk sucks out, I find it really hard to take. I'm only playing at the micros too! Just now I've finished a session and had to really fight my way back to make it a positive one. I made a couple of bad calls earlier on in the session which cost me. I decided to move up from 2NL to 4NL and try to win it back. Don't worry, I am rolled for 4NL no problem but I know that having to move up cause I want to win my money back is a bad thing. So the questions are: Is there any reading material out there that you'd suggest to try and overcome this problem or at least lessen the problem? How have you personally become less results/money oriented yourself? I'd like to see how others have dealt with it. I really don't want this to effect my game too badly. Especially as I'm not far off being rolled for 10NL; I can just see myself struggling with seeing larger amounts of money going into the pot and exchanging hands. [/QUOTE]
