my face flushes...

[sirtimo]

Hi y'all,

I've noticed that in live play, when I get caught in a bluff, run a bad play, or just make a dumb error I tend to get very flush (reddish) in the face and feel hot and embarrassed-looking. Is there anyway to work on controling this?

When I'm playing online I can let it out by saying a few choice words or another expression of anger/frustration, but in person I think I struggle so much to keep it under control that it affects my game for several hands afterwards.

any comments?? suggestions?

Mike probably doesn't have that problem...

That is one ROUGH picture. I may not be able to eat dinner now.

To the OP: breathe, baby, breathe. Take a drink of water, too... Doc Al should be able to lend some insight into this physical reaction to embarrasment.
