Default Re: Tilt from Hell

You state that your problem isn't the money loss - it's small after all - but the fact that you will often be run down by players whom you are beating badly early on. So, increasing risk tolerance, and other suggestions already made aren't really going to help you. Neither will playing NL because you'll still experience the frustrations of being run down when way ahead.

What you need to do, in my opinion, is explore what is driving this competitive need you have. Often a competitive drive is rooted in a fear of looking like a fool. Perhaps that's the situation in your case, or perhaps it's something else, such as trying to please an overbearing parent or sibling. Once you figure out what it is, you can address it.

One is rarely competitive for no other reason. Once you understand where it comes from, perhaps you can start to address that and hopefully let the losses roll off easier.

Regards,
