TILT?

[gotigers1234]

How do you guys deal with losing an entire session worth of winnings (3 BI) on two hands that you get sucked out on. I know its part of the game to get sucked out on, but how do you deal with it. Do you quit, take a break, throw something? I feel cheated but I know this is the wrong way to look at it.

all of the above

Here's what you should do. Go back and really analyze the hands and (A) figure out if it was a bad beat or (B) see if you played the hand like shit. You'll soon realize that the answer is B more often than you think. If the answer is A then you can easily move on because you know that you're winning that situation over the long-haul. I used to dwell on bad beats but then realized there's no point. Now I get pissed off because I know I played the hand like a donkey.

^^^This.

If you played the hand correctly and got your $$$ in good then there's nothing to get over. But like SG worte, if you played the hand like a donk then that's something to get p.o.'d about.

IF you got it in good then be happy it's still +EV in the long run and well you're in this game for the long run. So do like Stargrinder said and analyze the hands to see if you indeed played it correctly. If you did and villain made a real stupid play then take note and make it a point to play with him more often as you'll benefit if he is making mistakes.

I have no idea of you history as far as how long you've been playing etc. If you are new to the game you'll learn to work through it. Spoon has written some good stuff on the issue as have others. So read up and well if all else fails go put your head on a door knob for awhile!

^^^yeh this.

dont bitch about +EV situations

that said, i find that its the anticipation of cards hitting that tilts me in a suckout situation. I dont watch showdowns, because i can handle when i lose if a see the result after and can justify it mathematically. Its when your staring and the screen hoping/praying that the 1 out draw doesnt hit that a suckout screws you over mentally.

why even watch the cards run out after you get the money in

A good reason for multi-tabling. If you know you got in good, then why watch it. Let another table pop up and find out what happened when you get back to the first table.

[Imthenewfish]

why does it even matter if u get it in good if u thought it was +EV for good reasons?

this is a good point. when i'm cascading i often deliberately hide the table in AI situations. but my curiosity always has me checking each table as they come to the forefront for the next 50 hands looking to see if i have 200bb on one of them. discipline fail.
