have not won any tournaments for quite some time and my confidence in my poker qualifications began to be questioned .... so when I won this tournament today this is a good event for me and the understanding that I am not the worst poker player .... started playing through an hour after the start of the tournament and could eventually win it

Even if is not a great result is fine, because is very good for your bankroll. Now you have to play calculated and maybe you have a chance to grow even more. Is good for your for your morale, because you won 1st place in this tournament and in this weekend i wish you good luck for more money. Congratulations for this result.
after this tournament, I tried to play in a detailed tournament for $ 300 already ... the tournament was exactly the same and I entered it too after it had already started and lasted for an hour .... of course such achievements as in the previous tournament I didn’t reach, but still got a prize of 7 1/2 dollars by investing 3 dollars ... as a result, 4 1/2 dollars arrived .... After that I played a little in the casino And now I have 52 dollars on my account

Variance will help you soon if you are an overall good player but not having luck lately, but tbh tournaments with different prizepools and structure need to play differently too.

It's good if you manage to increase your stack, because you will have money to play more games and the chance to achieve something good. Yesterday i played a free game with a wheel of fortune ticket and i won a $ 5 Blast. I played it and the prize was $ 50. I took 1st place and $ 30 my prize. It's good when you win with something free.
Today I played sit and Go games a little for $ 5 ... and also played a little slot machines at 888 casinos ... as a result, a small plus ... now I have 64 dollars ... considering what I played today quite a bit since I was busy almost all day with other things, a pretty good result .... I hope to continue raising my bankroll

Everithing good except the "After that I played a little in the casino And now I have 52 dollars on my account" Maybe you are one of the rare cases, who could profitable play in casino, but i doubt. Having casino option available has led to many failis in my case, so i only play at Stars ( as i heard, they also have casino, but i dont see it in my pokersite) or i send letter to support, that i want my casino to be disabled. If its not possible, i will leave the site. You may win many times in casino, but then the big bang will come and destroy you. Even if you start small, like "i only play little blackjavk to get back my 3.30 buy-in, it can lead to disaster.
I already wrote to another forum thread that I lost $ 30 due to a technical error in my computer ... unfortunately when I fixed this problem today my morale was apparently not quite good and in the end I played incorrectly enough to lose the rest of the money. ..Here is such a story ... Okay, life goes on

It's hard to make money from these games because the software is very against you. This is the reason for which i don't get angry anymore. I don't wanna get an ulcer due of these cards, that almost always come to defeat you. This is not normal poker...

how if you treat the game of poker not as a means of making money but as a hobby, then you can endure all the ups and downs calmly ... of course it’s very sad to lose .... especially lose if a technical mistake ... but of course poker for me only a hobby ... I make money differently .... therefore I am relatively calm

Pajalnick, I am calm, you are the same but look at the Nightkid, because he said something ugly in that comment. No matter how hard it is. It is important to play calm and focused. Anyway, the chances are small, so no one should be nervous.

Unfortunately, I’m quite an emotional person, so when I lose some time, for example, I sometimes get a Tilt state .... I start making crazy bets in the hope of changing everything .... and of course it only brings a loss ... .I definitely understand that I am doing the wrong thing, but I can not do anything with my emotions

I started to losing my patience with my sports betting, but i have no emotions. They start to come, if i get close to the money. I have a year, ever since i didn't win at 888 bets, but i play with courage, calm or a little nervous. It's better in this way.
the biggest emotions I have when I lose But initially I have a better card ... then I have the wrong thoughts about what I was playing Absolutely right but I just had no luck ... and if I continue to play that way then sooner or later success will come to me ... But this is the wrong position .... I understand this a little later .... but at that time the thoughts are just that

Most players lose more often than they win. I do not see the meaning of these emotions because i know... i can lose a lot faster, than to win. It is an online poker where you are extremely loser like the majority and you need to focus more. These moments matter a lot.
well, personally, of course, in most cases I personally lose ..... so probably for me a poker hobby .... If I won I would certainly try to monetize my game .... since playing poker is interesting enough for me .... and if my job was to play poker it probably would be a good job .... although sometimes I get tired of poker and don't play for a while

Winning or losing is a normal thing but the biggest satisfaction is that you to make a profit from these games. There is nothing more beautiful than this ( for me, the money they are very good ). Yesterday i won $ 148 in a game and i hope to make a few hundred in this week. I hope to have luck and not to lose, but to have a profit for my pleasure.
