Message: [QUOTE="LarkMarlow, post: 1372783, member: 57665"] I think another thing to keep in mind here is perspective. Human nature is such that we tend to get emotional about and remember our bad beats more than we do our great wins, probably because we expect or feel we deserve to prevail. Then we generalize by saying stuff like pocket Kings [I]never[/I] hold up for me or my Aces [I]always[/I] get cracked. The fact is that's literally impossible. However, such generalizations can trigger a negative mindset which affects our overall play. One way to avoid this psychological trap is to keep some really detailed records for a period of time in order to regain a proper perspective. [/QUOTE]
