Message: [QUOTE="Millie232, post: 5164335, member: 370867"] Great to see you here! I asked a question regarding hyper and turbo tournaments on Twitter, maybe you remember it :P I purchased your book and read through the majority of it, being particularly interested in those $0.01 tournaments on 888poker because I use them to get myself into $0.10 SNGs tournaments. The reason I do this was because, in December, I started playing poker with a $10 bankroll and managed to grind it up to $300 by mid-April through a mix of satellites, MTTs, and the occasional cash game. I ended up needing the money for a personal emergency, so had to withdraw it - but after that I realised something: the loyalty points I had accrued on my various poker websites made it completely possible to be making about $0.30 a day from freerolls, satellites, and SNGs. It's nothing amazing, sure, but it allows me to potentially freeroll my entire poker career. I'm about 10 days into that and, after reading the book to help with my call/shove ranges, I've made nearly $5 from absolutely nothing. I'm hoping to do with this money the same thing I did with my first investment, and turn it into a more reasonable bankroll that I can start playing some real poker with. My next question is: how do you deal with all the beats? These $0.01 tournaments, as you can imagine, attract players that are[B] a lot[/B] worse than the average player. I'm still finishing with a ticket about 1/3 times (I used to be getting about 1/8 before reading the book), but it's so frustrating to lose my buy-in after 45 minutes of work because I made a reasonable shove that gets called by an equal-size stack that holds a single over card - such as KQs against A6o. I know it's part of poker, and I know that I'm still a winning player, and that I'm getting 70% off my SNG tickets by doing this, but how can I mentally prepare myself for making good decisions and losing to bad ones several times a day? At the moment, I just take an hour or so to watch a TV show or do a little writing until I feel comfortable enough that I'm not tilted before resuming, but is there anything more I can be doing? I love your work and everything you do for poker! [/QUOTE]
