I had a mediocre day today winning wise, but I won so much more mentally than I ever have before. I had pocket kings cracked by 73s earlier today and it cost me $8 bucks but I didnt tilt. I made notes on the guy and said out loud I will make my $8 back and more from this guy in the future. In the past I would have tilted off the rest of my buy in in the game I was in, and probably tilted off another buy in trying to bust this guy. I didnt. It was probably the biggest win I ever had by mentally growing my mindset. I know it sucks when our hands that are favored to win are beat by hands we wouldnt play, but remember these bad players are the ones that grow our roll. We want them to play bad. We will make our money in the long run. Poker is a marathon not a sprint. Today I finally realized that.
