Message: [QUOTE="DunningKruger, post: 2088420, member: 94310"] You're actually pretty terrible at this game. So am I. So is pretty much everyone, save for maybe an extremely small percentage of people in the world who still have a lot to learn even though they're not that bad. By taking the ego out of poker and realizing just how far we still have to go, I feel we work that much harder to elevate our game and more importantly we don't let pride morph into tilt when we feel we should be doing better than we are. If you're a prideful player then at least use it to your advantage. I suppose for some it's what drives them. You can't however consider yourself a pretty solid player if you inevitably lose focus and start donking around. The next time you feel the urge to do that, tell yourself you're better than to allow that kind of thing to happen. Imagine a solid player you look up to looking over your shoulder and you don't want to embarrass yourself. That kind of poker game is for the gambol junkies and the fish. If you really can't maintain your focus in spite of that then open up the play chip lobby where that kind of nonsense belongs. :) People who can legitimately play with the goal of making the best decisions possible and not worry about money won or lost tend not to suffer from this issue. What you can try is mark down the amount of time into your session where you know you're making bad decisions (and then stop obv) and next time you play just to go longer before you have to mark it down again. Make that your goal to try to break your record or w/e each time. I don't know. Just a random idea. What you talk about can be helped and can be fixed but it requires a conscious effort, and some time. It doesn't exactly go away on its own. [/QUOTE]
