A natural progression from anger, to complacency, to feeling happy for the villain.

When I play live and can see the relief in their face when they hit that 2outer to win. Nowadays, I feel good for them.

The internal realization, not just the educational knowledge, but the point where the light bulb goes off about variance, just floats anger away. It no longer has a place in this intercourse.

I wouldn't say I feel good about some dickhead 2 outering me, especially if it's some dolty reg who has done something and got there (normally on a French site), but they don't affect the way I play, I don't moan about them, and the short initial sighhhhhhhh fucks sake moment fades after a few seconds.

lol. He's just a guy like you. Anger is to be directed at what? Dealer, shuffle machine, that sticky part on one card that made the shuffle go this way? Him, for getting himself in the exact spot you wanted him in?

There is really nothing to be angry with. Especially when we get a villain on the ropes and he finds a right hook from nowhere. Hey, we wanted him in that spot.

Really. I have no tilt problems any more. Frustration problems up the kazoo though. But I'm using logic to deal with that.

Frustration come straight from the fact that we can't affect a thing which we really want to affect. If we can't do anything about it, then why beat ourselves up?

I dunno... but I sure have the bruises.
