Re: I\'d rather have a losing session than this? (probably not)
Your reaction to this experience is something you should work on. How are you going to feel when you play well but still go on a 200BB skid over 15k hands?
You should strive to feel the same regardless of outcome. Your post session reflection should be on the play of hands, not results. Also, you cannot say a worse player would have lost money with the cards you had. He may in fact have made a ton by playing incorrectly and getting lucky. All you can do is make good decisions. Over time, the results will reflect the quality of your decisions. You probaly played between 1000 and 2000 hands in that 3-4 hour stretch, the results over that many hands are going to be dominated by chance.
I try to avoid any emotional reacation to my results, good or bad. My experience is that feeling good, bad, or even blah hurts objectivity, and objectivity is vital. (blah more saps the energy needed for objective review, and tends to push one more to the loose passive side I think.)
