The First Place Fix

Anybody know what I mean???? It's when you play a long SNG, make great plays, everything goes right, and you win. Then your adrenalin is gone and you just feel like watching TV...ohhhh man I hate it. Like sex. Just can't get going again. When I multi table, I don't really get it to much, cause there's so much going on. But when I single and win, I'm like damn what's on HBO.

I used to have this problem when I first started playing as well, it really cut into SNGs per day. It goes away for the most part after a little bit more experience.

Weird. I'm the total opposite. When I get 1st, it drives me to keep playing. It's when I get keep getting them damn 3rds that I get sick of it.

i agree winning just fuels the fire

i'm with the original poster completely. I think the main reason is that when I get a 1st I'm in a good mood and want to relax and do something else while im in a good mood. When I bust on the bubble it pisses me off, making me want to play more and putting me in a bad mood for anything else I do

For me, winning money has always been more addictive than losing. I guess it just depends on the person.
