Re: Help! Dealing with that painful Downswing
Thanks for the link. I read that thread a while ago and was totally blown away by it. If you look at the thread, you can see my response to it at the time was "Are you god?"
I wasn't being sarcastic or sincere. I just didn't know how to respond.
The reason I had such a strange response to it was that when I read it, it was though my whole poker career was flashing through mind, and I was reviewing my own psychological weaknesses. It was a big "AHA" moment for me. When I re-read it just now, I had another "aha" moment that was imcomparably more meaningful than the mantra "get your chips in with the best of it. Results will take care of themselves" At the time I read that post, I had never read something so singularly helpful about poker.
Yes. I recommend Barry's book. Its a very personal book that has an uncommon inspirational power. About the play examples: My jaw dropped to the floor, and stayed there.
