Yeah, it was at the $55s, then I lost $75 in ring games. It was just one of those days where I lost 80% of my 50/50s, and when I won them, it was only to lose all my chips on the bubble in a 70/30. You know how it goes....

The money pissed me off because I'm about to pay for a ski trip this winter, and it just like "Damn, if I just hadn't played, I could have 'gone for free'. I haven't been able to play much at all lately, and I won't be able to for awhile. I'll win it back, but its just not any fun at all...

sorry about the bad day.

i find that when i have the mental state you describe, i fix it very well by doing more frequent cashouts.

different stuff works for different people though.

Not meant to berate you or anything, but if $500 makes you go on tilt, $55 must be too high a limit for you to play until you change your philosophy/ mentality about the game.

Its not the money that makes me tilt, its the process of losing a ton of coinflips in a very short amount of time. Ive been playing the 55s for 8 months now, and they are not too high of a limit. Its all about EV, and I get the most at the 55s. That said, I'm a college student, and $500 goes a LONG WAY-

I decided to take a shot at the $55s. Played 60 of them, lost a grand. So now I'm slumming it out at the $22s again and I have no idea if it was variance or if I suck at the $55s.

Ok, if you tilt very rarely it can be +EV for you to play 55s. Try to look at results in longer time interval and remind yourself how much you are up this month, this year etc.

Haha yeah thats what I usually do... I'm fine with it now, I was just pissed earlier, and after destroying my tackboard needed a place to vent... Much better now though. Also, with having played only 300 SNGs in the last two months, $1k of losses erases like a few weeks of winnings. Oh well, [censored] happens, and to be honest, I'm fortunate enough to be able to shrug it off, and I'm very grateful to poker for giving me what it has. Sh!t happens, and there are much more important things than losing money that I wouldn't have had anyways. Ah well... gl at the tables everyone.
