Hey Wonderland,
Im gonna put my two cents worth, your comments sound alot like alot of us who ( after 2 years are really just starting out ). A couple of things I might share. If you've been playing for two years, one of the first things you should have learned is not go Tilt, or at least walk the fk away when you see it coming.... Bad Beats happen, both ways.... Online/Live Its Poker, shit happens..
I noticed alot of training films some include big beats, noticed more & more, its like water off a ducks back from the trainer, comments like " oh well he sukd out " experienced players understand its a part of the game. ( it does make for good stories )
How many times have you said to yourself " Why am I in this pot ? " A good sign your game is improving, but old/dumb mistakes still creep in. Now you are noticing them
The game you played last year should be 100% better and different than last year.
Things that have been working for me.
1. If I lose 3x buyins I take a break (maybe a day), watch a film other than poker, afterwards then read a poker book.
2. Dont set goals like, this week Im gonna get my bankroll here.. just see if you making your 100bb goal. When I learned 6x BB per 100 is good, I knew it was gonna be a long haul. Accept it...
3. Micro's suck, but it will make you a better player... its just hard work.
4. Funniest comment I heard from a LAG player is he didnt mind getting busted out ( yummie ), I thought to myself, I just cared about playing great poker. Im finding out that usually will take care of the wins in the long run.
Of course it sucks when 9 out of 10 you'd have won it, and you think why is it always me #10. Make notes on that player, the next 9 times will be yours..... Live: There is nothing better than busting the guy that busted you the week before, only you took 3x more from him, than he did from you in the same scenario.
His face: Priceless
