HU is probably the game in

HU is probably the game in which mental stability is most important.

1) It is very easy to take things 'peronal'

2) You always have to respond immediatelly. (if you lose 50bb in a FR-MTT, until you need to play the next hand, time passes...you can calm down, reinsure yourself...in CG you simply can sit out)

3) Your mindset goes byebye, so do your winnings

Point 1 is actually the reason, why I do not play heads up anymore. I have a much harder time, dealing with tilt when I play heads up - then if I play 6max HT. Eventually, I will lose against 5 other players and the sum of their action....but, if there is a big juicy fish sitting right in front of me and nothing goes right, I can lose it rather easily.

On the other hand, when everything runs great, I kinda feel invincible and start making stupid plays. If i 9table 6max HT sng, there is always a table where it goes great and one where nothing goes at all, which kinda gives me a balance and allows me to keep it.

my concern isnt that focused

my concern isnt that focused about what does makes u tilt or not......and the consequences when u play tilted

wat i wud like to know is, is it possible that positive thinking (if that exists), have any special consequences in the way that game develops.(e.g. coin flips)...?

 

dont if u get wat i mean here....(sorry for my not so good english......but i think u understand wat i mean)

are you insinuating that your

are you insinuating that your mental state might have an influence on the outcome of a random event?

 

simply put: NO. there is no way you can influence random events by meditating, praying, positive thinking, whatever. if PSI were a real thing, casinos would have gone broke a long time ago. and james randi would have had to pay 1 million dollars several times already.

If someone would had mastered

If someone would had mastered PSI, I highly doubt he would spend his time in the casino ^^.

Screaming "one time" seems to be what most poker players do. I guess, I scream it an average 37 times a session.
