Message: [QUOTE="Funtast, post: 6843840, member: 1030354"] Hello peeps. I am not sure what you personally mean with [I]'fragile mind' , s[/I]o I searched for that terminus and found a quora answer that I´d like to take as a definition until you offer us your personal understanding or meaning of a [I]'fragile mind'[/I]: First things first: I got bipolar desease, schizophrenia and some other medical issues that qualify me having a [I]'fragile mind'[/I] I guess. Some days more, some days less. I won´t talk about acute phases of mania or schizoprenic psychosis, because it´s generally not a good idea to handle with money during those days. I also have a very strong sense of justice, which makes it harder for me than for others to accept terrible plays followed by badbeats emotionally and i am hot tempered as well. To topic: [I]"Only by a miracle can you win any game with a fragile mind.":[/I] That statement is way too absolute. Therefore it has to be wrong. As long as the 'fragile mind' owner, who simply isn't as resilient as others, manages not to overburden himself (play less tables and shorter sessions), he won´t explode, tilt or simply ruin it. Every child has some sort of fragile mind where emotions can easily take over the thought processes if they are done for the day. But as long as that doesn´t happen, they don´t cry and are able to play chess at high levels. [I]"Even with the best strategy, without a solid and structured emotional structure, you will not be a profitable player."[/I] Ok coming out: My emotional structure in general is a mess. Deep inside I tilt every badbeat I suffer and sometimes the emotional state is even more intense than tilt. Often I am so mad I want to cry, but I can´t. But I just don´t let these emotions take over control over my actions Instead I always stick to "best practises"/strategy. What sometimes happens is the "**** it"-state I´d call it. I simply lose interest if hands get too absurd and than I might lose the most. What you feel, what you wish, what you suffer, what you think - it doesn´t matter. Just your actions do. Just like the titanic band playing while the boat sinks. Learn to control your own fragile self and you can win lots of chips like any other player, too. My overall answer is: Yes. Fragile personalities can be outstanding successful in a lot of environments. Also playing poker. [ATTACH type="full"]348385[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
