Message: [QUOTE="BlueNowhere, post: 1880529, member: 83460"] One thing I'm finding at the minute (recently moved up to $7 hyper HU matches) is that the amount of money I lose some nights has really started to bother me. I'm constantly checking my account and looking at my my graph. When I was playing the $3.50s I got used to the odd downswing and losing just stopped bothering me as I would only ever drop like $30 in a night but now I'm starting to tilt again and get really angry (which I seemed to have overcome before I moved up) as I'm dropping like $70 or so in one block of games. I can only seem to stop when I realise I'm doing stupid shit to try and win back money lost (called an AI for K8o for 25bb before I realised today) The reason for this thread is I'm quite concerned about my mindset since I hope to play semi-professionally whilst I'm at Uni next year and obviously I'm going to have to grind through these bad stretches or I won't get in enough volume to justify not having a part time job. Hopefully I'll be at least at $15's and going for $30's so it won't just be $70 a night it will be closer to $300. I was wondering how other people cope with the actual money they lose when they play? Say if you drop $200 in a night do you just switch off from the money and content yourself with making +ev decisions? How do you cope when you know the money lost is due to a few hands you misplayed? Haven't structured this thread very well but it was just a few thing on my mind I wanted to enquire about. Edit: Another thing I'd like to add is that I don't feel quite properly rolled for $7 games but I asked the question on 2p2 and it seemed to be a fairly overwhelming "move up, you're burning money not doing", obviously makes sense when I'm crushing the current level to move up where there is less rake and I can even halve my ROI and still get the same money/game. It hasn't helped that I've not ran well since moving up and it seems to have knocked alot of confidence out of my play. Also recently when I've sat down and regged it has felt more like gambling than actually playing. When I win it's the same feeling I get when I've bet on football and the team scores and I win the bet. [/QUOTE]
