This story is going to sound quite immature on my part, but anyone on
tilt can understand...
I played two $10 9-man sit-n-go's last night on pokerstars. I know bad
beats happen but I'm gonna tell it anyway. I'm all in with AA, one guy
calls with Q-10.
Flop 48Q, turn 4, river Q
I'm out on the bubble.
Next game same story, after 1.4 hours, I'm out on the bubble again,
runner runner straight.
So I'm steaming pretty good. <immature part here> mad at Pokerstars,
made at the world, etc, so, I have $43.00 left in my account and I go
ahead and play a $30 9-man sit-n-go. Pokerstars can have my money for
all I care. Normally I would never go into this territory, but I do.
....and I came in second, won $81.00
I guess I didn't play the game on tilt, or I would have crashed and
burned, I just entered the game (which is way over my head, bank roll
wise) on tilt.
Not an untypical situation for a lot of players. Most of the time
when I played seriously and I
started out stuck, instead of going down in limit I'd go up.
Certain $ amounts are valued differently by different players. Losing
$500 might not cause one iota of concern from one player, yet cause
quite a bit of grief from another. One of the goals of a poker player
is too get your opponent to play in a high enough game that he now is
playing out of his comfort zone. There is a reverse correlation
here. The more the money he's gambling with in a poker game means to
him the less optimal poker he will play. I don't believe a player on
tilt has that minus working against him, as he is probably now in the
right frame of mind to be playing that higher limit. Less timid,
more aggressive.
To be sure that this advantage isn't wiped out by poor money
management, I'd suggest only moving up a notch or two. You playing in
a $30 sit and go as opposed to your usual $10 falls within those
limits.
