The regs are divided neatly into two camps - the small blind 3 betting super aggro maniacs and the 17/13 Hiltzs (the Cooler Kings) who are waiting for pairs and AJs+ AQo+. There are very few obvious fish (they get felted fast and few have traditional stats - because they can fold and wait 0.1 seconds for big cards as well as the next TAG).
I think this month I have been coolered in every possible way at the worst possible times. Every time I take a stand against a aggro maniac with 20% SB 3 bet stat they turn over aces. I have run boats into quads, boats into bigger boats (why do I always have to be 200BB deeep when that happens?), and sets into everything.
But I have also played badly at times. Very badly. Usually during the period 'imediately after I lose 3 buy-ins in 50 hands to coolers', I get this overriding feeling of I'm about to get my arse tupped and if the cards don't do it to me, I do it to myself. Then, as if my magic, about 5 minutes later its gone and I'm back to grinding with twice as much focus as before my buy-in dump (because I have something much more powerful to think about - getting out of it).
I also suffer from a form of long term not winning enough tilt - a slow burn tilt which eats away during any period when I break even for a while and then makes me more suseptible to the mid session blow out - its characterised by a growing feeling of the world is conspiring against me.
There have been a lot of days look like this (note how I went into secondary melt down twice after getting out of it when the mind focus shifts back to 'now lets win some money - I can't win slow burn tilt mode'):
My most recent attempt to get out of it involved switching to 100NL about 500 hands in (and then bam - 5 buy ins gone):
The last graph is this month's RUSH. I have also lost 3 buy-ins at regular 100NL on what used to be my main site. But rakeback is keeping me in profit!
I have got to cut out the mid session 5-10 buy in downswing/cooler/tilt/self mutilation crap.
Edit I recognise most of the tilt types in Dr Pauly's latest post. I have them all.
