Momentum
So you open up a couple of Cash tables sit down and start of nicely, win a couple of nice pots and feel totally indestructable, all our bluffs are getting through and you're getting paid with the best hand. You start thinking how great a player you are and that you can probably double your bank in no time at all.........
........And then suddenly you lose a hand........
........Not neccesarily a big pot, you're probably still up overall but it's really annoying. Suddenly these people are raising you, your raises are getting called and the flop is as dry as a bone. You keep getting straight/flush draws and missing every one. You get dealt QQ and an ace and a king flops! It's like someone flicked that switch and now you cannot win a thing.
It's so difficult going from winning to losing, you want your profits back and start playing hands out of position. Suddenly you are calling raises with Ace Rag, an ace flops and somehow your amazing annoyed warped mind convinces you they have KK. Your head is now gone, you must stop playing but all you can think about is the profits that you had and that you must at least break even before you leave.
YOU ARE ON TILT TURN THE FUCKING PC OFF YOU UTTER MORON!
Doesn't happen very often but need to write this to remind myself.
Other than one stupid tilty session, I've won a few Omaha STTs on my Zen account and things are currently running very well. Which makes this blog a bit dull, I'm sure I'm due a bad run of cards soon though so normal service will be resumed.

you got that right mate - it all comes to down to table image. Lose one hand where you've raised and shown down a marginal hand and it's all over.
You just have to stop bluffing. No more post flop continuation bets. Only bet the flop with a big hand etc etc.
or leave the table and play chess!
P.M.A :)
and no tilt
