close call. i'd put him on a mid pair and thus re-raise all in having some folding equity.

It doesnt really torment me. The game itself doesnt piss me off. Its just a steady stream of 2 and 4 outers hitting on the river in a short period of time for large pots, thats all.

As if he won't be tormented by something else if he quits poker.

Hey Bright, I don't know how to tell you to play "emotionlessly", but I can tell you what worked for me. I was having this problem with swings...nothing severe, but it was causing me to get angry nonetheless. I read "Zen and the Art of Poker" and "Inside the Poker Mind" about 6 months ago and PRESTO!...no more anger!

Somehow, even though I experienced that angry phase, I have not been a victim of tilt and so my bankroll steadily increased. However, now that the anger is gone, I enjoy the game so much more. I come to the tables with the expectation that I will get my hands cracked, but knowing that it's only temporary, and that my bankroll will increase if I play correctly and at my limits. Of course there is some frustration, but that's much, much easier to deal with because it only lasts for a hand rather than for a week!

Recently I went through a 2 month period where my profit graph was nearly flatlined. It was Up a few bucks, down a few bucks, ad nauseam. Well, as I suspected, it "took off" about 2 weeks ago and everything started to hit again, i.e. pocket pairs hitting sets, suited connectors finding their straights or flushes, etc. Wading through the variance is nasty (don't mean to sound patronizing here), but once it's over, you KNOW it was variance!

Hang in just a little while longer and it'll be behind you!
