Re: Psychology of Losing
[ QUOTE ]
For the last month I have won the most I have ever won, the funniest thing is that I have started every day I have played by losing 1 to 2 buy ins. I cant remember a day this month when I didnt do this, I have won it all back and then some, I have realized after this that maybe im not as focused until I have lost 1 or 2 buy ins, then I really play my A game and crush the games I am playing at currently.
Seems to me that this is probably good for the long run as I noticed I am a better player for it. And I used to lose 1 to 2 buy ins at the start of the sessions, now I lose half to 1 buy ins before im focused, eventually itll be 0 hopefully or maybe ill start by winning right away and not have to wait till I have lost a bit, lol.

You're making the mistake of attributing way too high a correlation between your short-term results and your play. This will drive you insane in a bad downswing.
