In person I don't really give bad plays too much thought since I expect most live players to be bad + it's alot easier to be respectful to a person when you can see them.

Online I treat poker like I game, so I will occasionally trash talk out of frustration. Live poker I treat more.. well, like real life. Even if someone trashes my play at a live game I like to keep a low profile at the table so I look to be the silent type.

Recently though.. working on tilt alot.. so I'm getting better at ignoring suckouts. If I get the money in good, I usually am not angry about a play.

Every time I see a “Comments welcome” or a “feel free to comment”, what I feel is an urge to write some words (I'm “that” easy ).

But this post have some magnetism.

You know (because you talked about it) you should be glad that the people you're talking about actually exists (we remember the day we get the suckout but never remember how many times the donk called and we still had the best hand and won, just because it was fair or when we suckout on someone)

Even if we play perfect theres a variable that makes the equation fail, an error, something that shouldn't be there but in fact is (*nerd factor on* like Neo and The Matrix *nerd factor off*). If you're doing “your job” you shouldn't care (Ok, you can be upset but forget it easily).

It's like catch cold, you can just sneeze a bit or two, or it can arise in a flu and get you sick for days and days. You can make there nothing and this is not your fault.

Improve your skill with your hours of studying and practice (How can you survive a suckout? getting more chips than your opponent, playing better the others opponents).

Hate and frustration are bad feelings to avoid. We have to avoid almost every feeling (you now that anytime due to your chipcount, people plays etc… lead to a different feeling… keep the good ones… identify them… when, where, why… ).

Its supposed to be this way, on the other hand is the way we play. Improve is what we need.

Of course I make donk plays, we call it bad timed bluffs, wrong reads… and it was I have to improve instead of trashing donk.

Conclusion: Enjoy the donk, let it be your friend… enjoy it because you're still above him and then forget the result of a stupid hand.

Wishes,
