Interesting HU 100-200 hand

[grandgnu]

Geesh, get a load of this guy. $400 per hour? Are you fricken crazy man!?

Regardless of whether you are a winning 100/200 player, here's the thing: You lack a key poker trait: being humble.

This is purely based upon your posts in this thread, and thus I have no other data to back up this observation.

I recently happened upon an epiphany in my own play (and I'm not even close to a 15/30 player, right now just fiddling around with $100 or less buy-in multi-table tourneys)

I realized that whether I suffer a bad beat or just get outdrawn, run into a monster hand when I have a strong one myself, or whether I win a big pot or I'm chip leader.....I cannot allow the emotions to control me.

The ups and downs can certainly affect ones play tremendously. Maybe because I'm risking less money it's easier for me, but I figure with your bankroll the losses and wins are relative to my own.

If I beat my opponents, I will not gloat. If they beat me, I will not throw a temper tantrum. If my flopped set gets beat by runner-runner on one of the worst plays of the century, I will move on. I am Zen, and I will play a balanced and strong game of poker, and in the long run, I shall win more than I lose.

Your style of hubris, I feel, can only hurt your game. It appears to me that you are not in control of your emotions as much as one could be. Phil Hellmuth is an amazing poker player, but his instability, his ego, reduce his winnings.

I would much rather be an unknown player who makes a nice profit, than a well-known player who has reduced his earnings because he cannot control his emotions.

As others have said, you are virtually an unknown here, and I did not see the post where you offered lessons at such a high price. Given your ego (as I see it) I cannot see you as being as strong and balanced teacher as I would want.

I believe there are better ways for people to spend 4 grand.
