Re: Played internet poker for the first time today!
You stated [ QUOTE ]
thats why everytime I take a hit I try to take a few days off so that I don't take another hit
[/ QUOTE ] You didn't state, so that you don't go on tilt, the way you wrote that sentence. If you are taking time off to prevent yourself from going on tilt, then fine, you're right. But if one losing session is enough to put you on tilt and cause you to have to take a few days off, then you shouldn't be playing poker, you clearly don't have the emotional control necessary to play the game. You are also clearly playing way too high for your bankroll. At your bankroll you should be playing 5 cent / 10 cent max. While oftentimes, for marginal players, math isn't the only aspect to the cards, and their emotion gets the best of them, it should be, and if its not, you have a problem. The fact that you are stating that even individual pots (winning and losing) affect your play is a serious red flag.
