Sometimes, if it coincides with bad play, sucking out actually bothers me. Sucking out only creates an illusion of winning--whatever I did to get to that point isn't really winning me anything in the long run (which is the only kind of "winning" that matters)--and getting too caught up in adrenaline rushes only gets in the way of distinguishing good play from bad play, so I try to resist them as much as I can.
actually yea the best is getting it in with a good hand, having your opponent suck out on you on the flop or turn, and then you suck back out on him on the river
I once heard Ivey say he likes to lose so much to not be able to breathe.i'll look up the study but i found one from oxford that showed a gambler's brain gets the same rush (dopamine) from losing as winning.
it's an interesting little discovery to think about.
@essam , ivey tilts bud don't kid yourself. but definitely a key to strong play is knowing how to stop or deal with tilt
It feels good, very good.
Best of it is when you have a player who plays 50% of hands, raising every hand etc. You get sucked out on time after time with the best handand then you finally pick up a hand, like Queens, he raises and you think you must but WAY ahead. end up getting it all in and these lucky gits seem to always turn over Aces/Kings at the wrong time, so you hit your set and I think justice is done!
