Do you fall for temptation on some cards?

Now I feel bad. I see you are working on your degree at UCLA math. I'm getting my degree from Courant. We should be nicer to each other.

no.

You're cute.

I don't feel that my first reply to you in this thread was mean at all. It was harsh truth that you need to hear if you think asking questions like the one you posed are interesting.

So what's it like being a robot who has no emotions at the poker table and just applies mathematical probabilities to his game?

Like yesterday. I have a 39o in small blinds and fold. Flop shows 399. Another time I have low pocket pairs and I fold to PF raise. Flop gives me a set.

It's tempting to go in with low cards on the next hand but I don't (unless I can check my way in). My blood pressure reaches 200 whenever this happens.

I hate when this happens. Its one of the mistakes I continuously make, folding terrible hands that become the nuts. It is often the difference in a losing a winning session.

I was paid a high compliment the other day when I could have roofed my house with all the 65o I caught in one session. 3 showdowns in four hours was all my cards could muster. I was told "I have the patience of a saint" on the way to a losing session. On my second hand of that session I folded 37o only to see 336 flop and THEN the little old chinese lady showed her pocket 66!!! The Sirens song draws us to dangerous shoals!!!! Temptation - discipline - who will win? Only your mirror knows for sure. The funny thing is, that this is an emotion based decision. If you FEEL strong, discipline is easy. If you FEEL weak, discipline often fails. There, I have used up my quota of YING/YANG for today. LOL.

Sammy, just put Jason_T on perm ignore. He is the dik of the forum and particularly likes to pick fights with new posters.

Okay I'll bite.

YES, I do get tempted with crappy cards. For me, the toughest is low pairs in EP. I always feel like I can outplay most of my opponents after the flop, and I get tempted to try to do it, particularly against weak/tighties.

And yes, it frustrates the [censored] out of me when I am in the BB and it's raised to me, I look down at something like 57o, I fold it, and it makes a boat.

I guess this makes me a crappy emotional wreck of a player.

You also have a tilt problem that will destroy your ability to succeed in this game and a personality problem that will lead to a life of lonliness and despair.
