I have played around 50k hands and even though I am profitable but I can't for the life of me stop spewing chips from time to time which just so utterly sucks. It takes so much patience and time to make money and then to just give it all away in a few hands is crushing.
All it takes is 5 mins of being in maniac mode and you can blow away a number of BI that takes hours to get back or even days.
Now I see I am not alone on this. I see time and time again people saying that they blew away their BR because of tilt.
It's just the speed of online poker which is the problem here. In live poker I never do something stupendously bad.
It depresses me to think how much money I had made if I were more discipled.
I am thinking of challenging myself to have a streak of hands with complete discipline. So how many hands do you think I should set the benchmark? Like I don't do anything stupid for x number of hands and then I can call myself a highly discipled player?
And do share your situation regarding discipline. I do see some regs who very rarely do something stupid and I really envy them. It's almost frightening how I play when I am in maniac mode, 10 mins later I am left in complete shock as to what the hell was I doing?
