Very often when I read your posts I am incredulous that you're only a freshman in college. Your posts shine with a level of maturity and wisdom that is far too uncommon amongst your peers.

Nice post, again.

here's some food for thought for you...your probably going to hate this, but maybe all the requests to ban you from high quality posters i get should tell you that you are more likely to be wrong and annoying than you are to be correct and tolerable.

Default You beat me to the punch

I just came off a live losing session where I got all my good hands cracked by longshots. That's nothing new to all of us who play poker everyday.

What got me was my response to my last beat. I stood up, said "Motherf******. Nice hand so and so", picked up my chips and cashed out. It was only a 21BB loss and I shook hands before leaving. No ranting and running for the door stuff. No big loss.

Looking back on the session, in addition to the bad beats, I went on tilt one hand and spewed, and should have played one other hand stronger but got pushed off my hand.

So I played less than optimal and topped it off by momentarily losing my cool. There's been times I ranted here at the desktop and played the fool for the forum, but I rarely lose my cool publicly and exhibit the type of behavior that makes me look stupid and like a novice to poker.

That just reminded me of the Tommy post where mplspoker keeps insisting we defend him because he doesn't play the real high limits, etc. I don't even know Tommy. I'm just talking about trying to improve and how the stuff he writes and the demeanor and views he talks about can add to that. As much as someone else's views might.

He may not have made a fortune live or online, or play 300-600 regularly, but does that mean he can't, or a guy like him, have a positive effect on your emotional state and how it can effect you when playing lots of poker? In how you play, conduct yourself and remember to understand the nature of it?

He didn't pick tiltfree.com as the name for nothing.
