I used to have serious problems with tilting, but I usually noticed it and stood up from the tables. I only tilted away serious money once and it wasn’t that much money ($4500). I think somehow I also managed to avoid big downswings. I think the main reason for this is that I panic much earlier than a serious downswing could hit and I start to analyze my game, my mistakes well on time. I also drop down a level very easily if I feel I need to recoup my confidence when things aren’t going well.

I am proud of the fact that since the summer of 2008 I haven’t had a losing month.

I still found the book very useful, just to summarize whatever is important in this subject, but also got some good advice. I know that making good decisions is more important than winning or losing, but I wouldn’t say I am indifferent to money in poker – although that is what you should aim for.

I also noticed looking at the Amazon poker books, that I basically read all the educational books (not story-telling) on the first 4-5 pages. It took me 4 years of only reading poker books, nothing else.

So now I will turn more to the videos on the internet, some of which are very useful. Last summer I met Annette at the Everest Poker party during the WSOP and she said she watches 2-3 videos every day. So I signed up on some sites on her advice and she was right

Oh, and of course, I started to read baby-books instead of the poker books
