Re: Your Initial Reaction to Losing?
AK and 88, them's the breaks. I got called by a better hand. I move on.
K4, I roll my eyes a bit, make a note on that player, and start up a new tournament.
AJ, I'll admit, I get a little miffed by, but that's just because my internal pattern mapper keeps telling me I lose a lot more that I should to hands I'm dominating, and won't listen to reason (that I'm just imagining that). I'll groan a bit, probably wait a little while before starting up the tournament to take the place of that one to be a bit more sure I'm ready to move on (I play continuously, so normal would be to immediately start up another to replace the one I was just knocked out of).
It's when that last one doesn't bother me, even in the moment, that I'll know I've got the right mindset down.
