sweet emotions

You know what tilts me lately? Emotions at the poker table, I absolutely hate it. I can’t stand players ranting or bitching when they lose a hand. I can understand disbelief, shock, or even depression when they lose. So maybe it’s not emotion that I hate, it might be ego. Yeah, that’s right, I think its ego. I want to outplay rather than outcard these kind of players.

Let’s face one fact, and that is no one really tells you how to play a certain hand. You control what happens to you at the table. Not the dealer, not your opponent, not the deck, not your hole cards, not the flop, turn, or river, but you, and you alone. Yes, we all get unlucky sometimes when we are ahead before the flop then the board will favor the other guy. Tough luck, after all, it’s still gambling we’re doing. But don’t bitch when you get beaten by a guy who makes his flush on the river. Yes, you maybe ahead, but maybe you shouldn’t be in that hand after all playing your ace rag.

Let’s just stop pointing fingers. Let’s think if we did the right thing first… let’s be responsible for our own actions. don't always think that you are the best player at the table, chances are you're not. Cconfidence is a good thing, but being self - aware is way better.
