i find that during the first 15-30 minutes of an online session its not unusual to find myself down 15 BB. Then slowly after this invisable threshold i begin to win back my losses until i'm back in the positives. Its probably just some sort of anxiety when i begin to play, is there anyway to eliminate this? I remember someone mentioning they masterbate before a poker session to calm them down.... want me to experiment with this and report back? /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Too funny. I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that.

I didn't really think about it until you mentioned it but the same thing happens to me. I win about $100 bucks a day when I play but when I first start out on the day I'm usually down 20-40 bucks. That probably happens about 70% of the time.

That's funny I'm the opposite recently, I play $25 NL and I seem to get up to $35ish and then lose my stack. I'm beginning to feel like the live one.

I think the person who wrote that was probably looking at porn while he played, only after he was "done" did he fully pay attention to the game

The key having a smooth performance from beginning to end is planning and preparation.

Have a start and end time in mind.
Are you well rested? If not take a 15 min nap.
Get comfortable.
Have a liquid refreshment handy.
Limit distractions.
Foreplay - start slightly tight, then loosen up.
After winning the first pot reward yourself by opening up that refreshment.
Remember to concentrate.(Sister Mary, Sister Mary, Sister Mary)
Realize when your "in the zone"
End on a high note.
Never ask "How was it". Thats what video tape,...uh I mean poker tracker is for.
