Message: [QUOTE="Joe, post: 6035126, member: 193663"] Sounds like sometimes you're struggling to tell the wood from the trees and may get things out of perspective... Most decent poker strategy books have sections on the mental aspect as it's absolutely crucial for anyone playing poker for more than entertainment purposes (and in different ways recreationally too). There are helpful ways to frame our thinking and also unhelpful ways too. You can find (or create) all sorts of visualisations and exercises to assist with maintaining a positive mindframe. Also, learn to remove your ego from the equation. Try to check it in at the door/lobby before sitting down at the felt, you can pick it back up on your way out. :) More likely than not, ego will be a dominant factor when you find yourself being a 'bad loser'. Find me to be counted amongst the Philosophy camp with Jordan et Al... :biggrin: [/QUOTE]
