Re: Ever dropped cash so quickly online...
Hmm, no. This counts plays from the blinds. My VP$IP is about 19%, I just got a lot of above average cards in a short amount of time, that's why it was so high.

Re: Ever dropped cash so quickly online...
Yeah - Those are the worst downswings. When you get dealt loads of great starting hands, only to jam the pot and then get rivered by a three-outer. Over & over again.

Re: Ever dropped cash so quickly online...
That's barely more than 60bb. I've gone hundreds of hands with winning 1% of the pots, and, yes, it was ridiculous. Suck it up, ya alky.

Re: Ever dropped cash so quickly online...
yes
Edit - yes to the dropping cash that fast, no to hands shaking and drinking because of it. |
Re: Ever dropped cash so quickly online...
One other thing, for me it has gotten easier and easier to deal with the downswings over time. They never got to me to a huge extent, but one of the first things I worked on when I started playing poker very seriously was emotional detatchment. There are a lot of good articles and books that go into this subject far more eloquently than I can.

Re: Ever dropped cash so quickly online...
My roommate and I both play a lot of online poker, we're both college students and the money allows us to live in a lifestyle most of our peers can't. Anyway my roommate has always been a bit more emotional about poker than I, I am constantly reminding him to not rant or berate his opponents after bad beats because one "shouldn't tap the glass."
I came home yesterday after a class to find one of our plates absolutely shattered and laying all over our kitchen. Apparently my rm had suffered a couple bad beats during a bad session and took out his frustration on our plate. |
Re: Ever dropped cash so quickly online...
Hmm, please inform me about the titles of these books. Being a bit more emotionally detached would be a VGT.
I mean...I was scared of losing my entire bankroll at that pace. Irrational... |
