I found myself in a passive play rut recently, but that all changed staring at the kitchen sink when I woke up.
My spouse puts our mixing bowls in the sink to let things 'soak' in- but she never makes that continuation bet post flop and the bowl sits there for 2 weeks so coated in grime, you never want to make fresh dough in it again.
So, taking that hard earned anger you can inherit after 15 years of marriage - I took it to the tables and found my passive streak was over.
I have A10 suited ? MOVE OUT OF THE WAY - heh - and people ran, problem solved.
That 77 I may have limped on pre flop? Oh no, not anymore - I'm going 10% of my bank roll.
Just some humor but I did JUST discover what to do with anger in life - IF you have been in a passive play rut... It all balances out I think.
My - am I onto writing a book? 'How Poker saved my marriage' ? heh
While the intent here was to render a smile, I do think there might be something of merit here as to strategy in taking life conflicts - and using the game to vent those conflicts on the felt- digital or not.
Now - this doesn't imply angry people are better poker players but when I started I once read a quote by Doyle Brunson 'Sure I play with friends, but once the game starts I have one goal and that is to destroy every one of them'.
I'm TEMPTED to say 'nice' doesn't win you poker hands.
thoughts? on anger? nice? poker?
