Hello Cardschat. This is my first thread/post on this forum and I hope someday I will be able to help others if I manage to be good enough in poker.
I have been playing poker for just under a year and have lost quite a lot of money. I recently took a 3 month break and came back to poker and realised that nothings changed.
I believe I am a good player however I have a huge problem with tilt. I never managed to get a hand sample bigger than 1000 hands as during the 1000 hands I would have lost a couple of BI due to foolishness and then tilted the rest of my BR off.
I made an account on this forum mainly to get help with my tilt issues. I know what BRM and I use a 30bi rule for 2NL but never stuck to it when I tilt I just lose the rest in 1 or 2 sng's/
I am starting to believe that I should just give up but I want to give poker 1 last try. I am going to deposit 50$ on the 1st of January 2013 of which I will convert 10$ into another currency on pokerstars and leave 40$ (20BI) to play 2NL.
I think I will be playing either 2 or 4 tables and all I want to accomplish is to get a 10k hand sample while keeping a positive balance (at least 1 cent profit). If I did accomplish this I would be the happiest person in the world. This would mean that I can manage to control my emotions. At this point I don't even think about making money in poker but I get so furious when donks float me with AK or AJ while i'm showing aggression and they hit that magic A on the river.
However, if I lose the 40$ I will use the other 10$ to give 180/360 man sng's (10cents) a chance and see how they go.
Can anyone give me any advice on controlling my emotions/tilt? This is something I've been working on for the past year which does show that it's really bad for me.
