I think halo is putting me on tilt
I have been playing halo on xbox live now pretty much continiously for the last 4 days as it is the most fun i have had in front of a tv in my life. The problem is that i suck, and i hate this as i am as competitive as it gets. I think that me losing when playing halo is getting to me in my poker playing because i feel the need to make for my losing at halo by winning at poker. Over the last 4 days i have not been playing as much poker, but i am down close to $400 on the week which is my lowest downswing in quite some time. A perfect example is this: I was playing at party $25 PLO with KK67 double suited on the button i raise the pot with 5 callers. the flop comes AJ of diamonds (one of my kings was a diamond). I called two pot size bets against a guy with a stack that was slightly bigger than mine. On the turn the guy puts me all in. at this point the pot is laying me about 5:2 to my 4.5:1 call. I knew i should have folded but i didn't care, i needed a big pot to make me feel better about myself. I called and of course missed. This is quite a dillemna to me as my decision making on the flop and turn tend to be a great edge for me. Has any one else encountered anything like this? (outside factors effecting their poker playing?)
