C\'mon....does anyone seriously not TILT?
Like many of you, I chant 'long-term' like a mantra. Zen Buddhism colors some of my personal philosophy. I've read Zen and the Art of Poker, the oft-quoted poker detachment text.
I started 3/6 6 max this month and have been just breakeven over 4000 hands. This feels like running bad to me, and I started questioning myself, compounding my poor play, and becoming an kind of assholish outside of poker. Over the last 1000 hands however, I've finally swung up to 1.5BB/hour and I'm elated. I have energy and enhanced clarity of mind. I realize I'm tilting in a positive manner...and I like it.
Honestly, has anyone totally abolished tilt from their consciousness?
