Message: [QUOTE="DiegoRamos, post: 6881876, member: 138698"] What do you feel when you play Poker, joy, sadness, stress, anger, hate? Unfortunately, the dark side of this beloved game of ours exists and there are people who are harmed by it, for example, by gambling money on basic bills, rent, or simply selling everything and losing at the table. So I decided to create this post to help us all so that we can be alerted to small emotional deviations that we often don't notice. I'll start with myself: I always had bouts of emotional anger, that is, verbal outbursts until the moment I managed to stabilize, but this wasn't always quick, sometimes it lasted for hours. And all this imbalance even if you master the game's mathematics and understand the state of variance. I tirelessly searched for ways to control these feelings, but everything seemed superficial... I looked for several books on self-control, but it wasn't enough. So I decided to start meditating with breathing exercises, it helped, but up to a point I was having crises again. What definitely helped me with this was realizing my mental state and that detailed care is necessary, and this I only realized with a pseudo science based on a Christian religion (But the purpose of this post is not to talk about religion, beliefs or conversion, just I'm telling my case) which helped me learn to control my thoughts by acting on the cause and preventing it from creating a snowball. Did this change me from water to wine? No, but it has allowed me to understand things in a much better way and is helping me to progress, improving my results with Poker and in life outside the tables. So, my friends, if you feel comfortable, share your difficulties and/or help by giving each other advice. [/QUOTE]
