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.

Nice story.

This was in Vegas, or MN?

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

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.

Great write up.

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