Losing At Poker Is Not Fun
I love tournament poker as the the thrill of the chase is like being in a hunt, it brings out the animal in you. However, when the poker gods are against you there is nothing you can do. The fishes and the donkeys have their day. The sharks and the hustlers home in like a laser seeking missile and there you stand like a naked baby waiting to be picked clean at the alter of sacrifice.
Some would say that it is all relative and you will get good days and bad days. Well this is the time to change the personality get a new credit card and start a again. Yes it is time to change it all, become a new person and say good bye to the old one. After all with all the notes being kept on your playing habit will not put the fear of god in a opponent.
With the change of personality and the freedom of being new and shiny gives you the chance the chance to try new tactics, screw the mentality of the players you know will give up their chips easy and help you seek out the sharks and avoid them since they have to reboot their bots to deal with a ‘new kid on the block’.
It also mean those data gathering sites will have to start a fresh and you can mess up their algorithms and what not before they can get a pattern on you.
When losing becomes normalised you have to break the monotony and stop the rot. Banality of losing is horrible and walking away is the only option. That is the beauty of online poker there is always a way out of being the guy on a downward swing ‘donating’ chips to greedy no marks gobbling up your cash like a vacuum cleaner.
