Good beats and bad beats

this might help some people cope with bad beats,it helps me.when ever i get a good beat i write it dawn on the left hand side of the page,and like wise when i get a bad beat i write it on the right hand side of the page.When i write down the bad beats, i also have a look at the last good luck i had and it stops me from going on tilt.i have been doing it for 2 months and it is surprising how even it is and it realy dose help me.

i hope this could help you get through those bad beats.

I Agree sir, this is a great tool...always when you have notes from your oponents is good to know some things about hem GL

This just gets me pissed off because there are always like 5x more bad beats than suckouts. Which is good obviously because I get my money in good most of the time... but it's still frustrating.

hmm thats a good way of doing it might try this myself

Whatever you have to do to keep yourself on an even keel.

The only thing I would suggest is that if you have about the same number of suckouts on each side of the page, you have some work to do on you're game. If you're better than you're oponents, they should be sucking out on you MUCH more than you getting lucky against them. Just an observation. GL

Yes,i definatly have a lot to learn. i have only been playing for less than a year and every time i let my emotions into this game it bites my ASS .

i am looking forward to tapping all your brains to become a better player and i wish i new about Cardchat when i started,and i appreciate all the advice i can get.

This is a great idea - thank you for sharing! I think I will give a try as well!

I do this all the time to gauge how I'm running which at the moment is horrifically bad.

I usually work with five columns. First column is when I get lucky, Second is for races(check for a win and x for a loss), Third is for bad beats, fourth is for dumb plays I make, Fifth is for well played hands like good folds or reads, etc.

Currently I have lots of x's in my second column and a bunch of checks in my third and fourth columns. In other words I'm going through one of those bad stretches where I can't win races, I'm losing when ahead and I'm punished for all my stupid plays.

I always found my system helps me get out of funks better by keeping me on even keel and forcing to cut down on mistakes and tighten up.

good idea i will remember it in hard situations

great idea's.... i'm going to add them to a spreadsheet I have of my tournament results.

hmmmmmmmm when you put your money in good you don't put bad beats on no one so this don't help me.

Wow, so you're right 100% of the time and always have the best hand? That's interesting.

pretty much unless i get caught bluffing once in a blue moon i put the T in tag poker.

what if you multytable 5or more games
just seems slot of time waseted on bad beats
how about record only the good beats good hand played
and when you get a bad beat look at your record of good
beats and try to feel better what do you guys think ?
