Poker Conversation
This is a transcript of an actual poker conversation I had recently.
T - Man, I'm going to play poker all weekend.
Me - Yeah?
T - Yeah. And I'm going to play hard too.
Me - (Pause)
T- Are you going to play this weekend?
Me - Yeah. I'll probably play a little.
T- Are you going to play hard?
Me - Hell yeah.
T- Man--I've been winning about $50 per hour on Party Poker lately at the pot limit tables.
Me- Yeah--I've done allright for the past couple of days. Maybe $40 an hour.
A few hours after this conversation, I went on tilt and dropped about $400. One of the first times I'd ever been on tilt that I know of, and the funny thing about it is that I didn't even realize I was on tilt til I lost a bunch of money and quit and thought about it.
My new goal is to be like David Sklansky. He never tilts.
