Heheh, I can be like that. It's much more tempting to keep good records when you're winning.

Well, it wasn't so much that I was keeping records when I was doing well. I just really wanted to start keeping records especially since I was starting fresh in a new level.

Then at the end of the day I'd look at my stats that I've recorded and I should be up $200 but then I look at my accounts and I'm up $700. I mean, thats almost impossible to screw up for that many buyins unless you're retarded.

I've never been up 15 buyins in 20 tournys so I have no idea what you're talking about.

Ok, this is my pathetic thinking....

Say I'm heads up and we've both magically got 4000 chips, my opponent pushes and I call with AA. He flips up 32o and wins. I think think about how I wish I was $60 richer and then I cry myself to sleep at night on my huge pillow.

You will end up quitting as soon as bad variance rears it's ugly head. Because you obviously have no idea what it is.

I still think about the guy who limp-called my A9s all in with 97s and won

This statement shows to me that you are either playing above your head, or are still a ways away from where you need to be. Complaining about getting your money in with way the best of it is piss poor thinking. You did your job, and the cards didn't fall your way. The cards are something that you have absolutely no control over, and there is absolutely no sense in getting all riled up about something that you can't control.

Not true. It just shows you don't handle it well. As long as it doesn't affect your play,(which it likely would), it makes little differnce, but I don't recommend it; it makes the swings WAY harder on you.

Wow. Die.

Put [censored] in perspective man. I'm gonna be 20 in three weeks, and have a higher hourly rate than my nurse, MBA, PhD college professor mom.

The only thing that ever bothers me about poker is that I'm not making any kind of contribution to society. Losing a pot to a dominated hand? Gimme a break man - it's absolutely meaningless. But if for some reason it does have an impact on your life, you've got a lot more problems than just losing that pot.

your an idiot.

I'm talking about my prediction for what will happen when you experience IT.

I'm pretty sure my post was quite clear...but I'm sorry if it wasn't. If you can't handle very very good variance, then when you hit IT, you likely won't be able to cope at all.
