Hello, im a winning microstakes player playing sng/mtt, mtt. PLO HL NLHE. Sometimes a little bit of cash, but not really my thing. I
ve been playing poker for many years now. Mostly learning mental stages. I only just recently completely overcome the subconsious rigged theories. Not thinkin so, but leaning to it when u have those soul crushing downswings. “Man, how the fck is this possible!!??? “wait a minute… Mayb it isnt… unless….. THEY RIG THIS SHT!!!” I think we all been there. At least many of us.
Typing in Google; pokerstars rigged. Mayb not for real, but still. Then you realize when reading some stuff these people are tards or some give good advice. The pain goes away a bit, u start to feel better and go rollin again. Looking at that cashier that used to look so good. :DDDD But nevertheless.
Boy do i remember those days. I could go totally beserk. Wanting to smash walls. Instead broke my keyboard. Went outside, starting to look dor cheaper stuff to demolish. I did threw some glasses on the floor into thousands of pieces.
However. I believe now when u got mad cause u got sucked out on u unconsiously believe the game is rigged. And those commenting bad on riggies unconsiously believe it themselves. I think all in all this isnt just a thing to underestimate and when overcome u have passed a pretty sifnificant bridge.
I think now i can honestly say i can stay calm getting sucked out on. Yes, there is a diffence in KNOWING that that is good for u in the long run to REALIZING this is good for u.
The mental part of poker is SO huge imo that that is ur biggest foundation. Anyway, i think i have that foundation now and i am ready for finally actually learning the game. And i can say i am very proud of that. Ive overcome many hurdles and i can say i am a solid decent player. However theory wise i never really did much. I mainly learned from playing. But i realize now that study has to be done to get really better. That is a point where i am at now. Today i found this site. And i got a feeling its suited for me. So here i am hoping to learn tons. Which btw is the next big thing i think apart from the mental side; WILLING to learn. Because before even if i wanted to get myself to learning i just coulndt do it. I hated theory. I thought it was stupid, for nerds who are just copying things and dont have a game of their own. With the level going up these days there isnt really a choice. However, like i said im also ready for it. Hoping to learn good stuff here.
In addtion, what i actually mean is i am pretty much tilt proof now. The only thing that gets me upset now if someone is better then me. Which is ultimatly my motivation to learn stuff i think.
