Emotions + Poker = ?
so i had a question for everyone, about how their everyday lives affect them when they sit at the table. it seems to me that when i'm in a really upbeat mood all my draws are hitting, im making good money, and life is good. when i'm having a bad day it seems like nothing goes right. even when i feel myself a bit on tilt i always stop myself and say "look just sit back and wait for the cards," and they never come. does anyone else feel this way?
for example...i just broke it off with my gf of about a year now because i found out she was a "busy bee." i have lost about 1/5 of my bankroll in the last 3 days, and i finally decided to stop. i don't think i'm playing any different, but it just seems like nothing is going my way. i'm not playing above my limits, i'm not chasing draws without proper odds, and i'm not coming into pots with marginal hands.... it almost seems like the cards know when you're having a bad day and just wanna kill you.
