Kinda frustrated with my play at the Tournament last night. Went in kind of tired , and let an educated idiot get me on tilt(pissed).
To the point I had to walk outside and take a breath. Put me in a bad spot mentally tbh.
That's some people's game. They want you to be mad so they bring up controversial topics hoping you bite. Well one hit me close to home. I bit. Got angry. Played like crap and busted.
Just some friendly poker advice. Politics, race, religion ,sexuality, spirituality, or any controversial topic . Example (medical marijuana) should be shut down immediately when you are playing cards and care about your outcome. Turn away. Walk away. Ask to be moved to another table , or just sit out for a while .
You can't make good decisions when your mind is full of garbage that doesn't pertain to the task at hand , which is winning the pot, or in this case the tournament.
Just telling it like it is.
I love to talk ask my co workers. However, just like the poker table , the above subjects are best left to talk about away from work or the task at hand..
Also, if there is action or someone is being put to any decision about their chip stack, how about doing them and yourself a favor and not disrupt the game and or that person.
Yes it should be fun. But we aren't playing on Zynga Poker here.
This all happened last night at a live local run tournament. Direct cause to my exit just before the final table. Amazingly the person who brought up the subject had been church mouse quiet all night. It's an angle and everybody is looking for one.
As for me, I am taking earbuds next game.
Hope this helps someone.
