The best night of poker I\'ve ever played.
 

Hey - WT here - looking for a place to put this story and I think it's in the psychology forum.

It covers a night when all the factors for tilt were in abundance and what I did to fix the situation.

good read, I think - but very long - a 10 min. one at least - I'm just going to post the link to my blog to avoid dumping a large post on this site -

Hope you read it and let me know what you think...

Here is the location of the story

gratsi. I'm excited about this night - feels like a nice step forward.

Re: The best night of poker I\'ve ever played.

I haven't played poker live here yet, so Ihad no idea

Re: The best night of poker I\'ve ever played.
 

I really like it. It was like I was sitting there. Excellent writing.

Hey, is there a 2nd page? The one I saw was pretty lengthy and stopped abruptly at the bottom. I would really like to finish it. Really excellent reading and play of the table dynamic and really good examples of what you have to consider in a spot like that. I especially like the walkman idea and telling the loudmouth you were going to buy an ipod with the money you just won from him. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Try reloading the page - I thought the ending was pretty firm and clear - maybe it didn't load right - tell me what the last line is you can read.

I've decided that there's not better way to end the story then by buying the Ipod I said I was gonna buy - I was looking last night - the 60 GB one with 20 hrs of battery looks sweet.

I love music - I'm just been waiting for an Ipod that takes pictures

Re: The best night of poker I\'ve ever played.
 

I got it the second time. No starving kids and no civilians dead.

Good read.

I listen to techno, personally, when I play. I really enjoy chillout and find that Sarah McLuaghlin remixed really puts me in the zone. It's not exactly mainstream stuff but I think you can download some into your new Ipod and it might be worth a shot.

Good luck.

Re: The best night of poker I\'ve ever played.
 

Great write up.

Your display of control in that situation was really remarkable. It's nice to see justice done in the end too ...

And then I feel like it’s time to start in. I tell him he’s right that I need an Ipod – I’m going to buy one with the money he gave me.

best part. i liked it that you kept it cool but through a nice subtle jab in there too.

Re: The best night of poker I\'ve ever played.
 

Great read, thanks!

However, i downloaded sleepless sailor (on your rec), and thought it sucked. Sorry [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: The best night of poker I\'ve ever played.
 

changed that about 3 mos. before the post -

I got a friend, Bill - who tends to refer to his friends/partners in music crime as "sailors" - so since I'm up most nights anyways, it sorta had a dual meaning - LOL

I enjoyed that a lot, thanks

Especially your attitude towards poker, I can really identify with that.

I won a pot of a guy online the other day, and he was so mad he said he was gonna off himself.

I said "please don't do that" (he was probably not serious, but why chance it?) he said "shut up you don't care"

So I said "I do care. Not enough to give you your money back, but I do care." It was the truth.
