Message: [QUOTE="WVHillbilly, post: 1186590, member: 29447"] Both of these are forms of tilt. Assigning expectations (either positive or negative) can be bad. If we are expecting positive outcomes that don't come, we feel bad and we tilt. If we are expecting negative outcomes yet we win, we may become too happy with ourselves and tilt. Better to have no emotional attachment to the outcome of any particular hand/tourney/session. Just play the hand that's in front of you to the best of your abilities at that moment. Stop thinking about the hand you just played (no matter if you won or lost) and don't concern yourself with any hand you'll play in the future. Concentrate on the now and how you're playing your hand now. [/QUOTE]
