Still no tilt!

I have managed not to tilt for a while now, which is pretty good. I am running a bit better so not sure if that's the reason behind or if I am genuinely improving!! Not making massive progress but am generally making a small profit each time I play and I came second in the Gambling.co.uk forum game too, my hands held up all night until heads up when I was rivered into second, ah well. Might play a few more games after this but as things stand...

Profit again today..

..not that much though but better than losing (which I started off doing). Playing mostly €20 games now with some €30's and also €10 games as they fill up quicker. Surprising how bad some of the players are still, though I did notice in a €20 10 seater it got much tougher towards the end and a bit crapshooty as there was 4 of us pretty much playing standard sit n go tactics, the blinds got really high and I ended up finishing 3rd but it could just as easily been 1st, 2nd or 4th really.

Played 9 games today and still haven't tilted woop woop!!! 2 days clean! haha!

Coolers!

Just mostly been playing coolers today, managed to 5-table comfortably at one point which I was pleased with as I normally only play 2-3. Going to try and stick to 4 or 5 tables at a time when playing the Cooler games in the future (top 5 double their money in these), as they are easier to multi table.

Also, I invested in a new book - Zen and The Art Of Poker! To try to stop my tilt problem!! It teaches you the art of "Zen" and how to apply these philosophies to poker - something to do with Buddhism, I've not read it yet so not sure exactly what, but I read a bit at random and it seems good!! And I didn't tilt today for the first time in ages! Not sure if that's because I was winning though and didn't get as many bad beats.... watch this space!!

Back once again...

Well I'm back, and the no tilting plan went out the window in the first game I played (damn me!!!) It was the weekly forum game and I was chip leader when I lost a 4000 pot at the 50/100 level with AA v KJ on a J high flop, played a bit silly after that...

Still trying not to tilt but it seems like when I've got stressful things going on in my personal life I can't shut it out when I'm playing poker and every donk bad beating me sets me off :o( I've chucked away quite a few games by shoving all in with crap on another table after being bad beat on a seperate one....trying hard to stop this now!! I have had some silly beats though and they seem to keep happening in the €20+2 games. I was playing a €20 one, a €10 or €15 and a cheaper one but kept cashing in the lower two and getting no luck in the 20 euro, e.g the most recent one I was chip leader with 7 left and the person in 2nd couldn't fold their J-J pre flop. I had K-K and I don't really need to mention the obvious J on the flop.

Anyway, enough moaning!! I haven't really made any progress and have dropped down to the €640 mark at times but have got it back up to over €750 so I thought that deserves a blog update!!
