I need to grow up and stop losing my temper in the chat box just because someone says something to me that annoys me or steals another $50. I used to follow the don't tap the tank religiously when I played more for fun and ridiculously now that I play full time I've started berating the very fish we need to ensure are enjoying their poker. A better strategy my bro suggested which is working out for me is to make sure to say nh or good call whenever someone makes a good play against your actual hand or sucks out but in reality made a terrible play against your range/or the situation thus re-enforcing their terrible play and avoiding being one of those idiots who shouts abuse in the chat box! Hopefully if I keep trying and re-read your blog at least once a day for the next month I'll stop being one of those idiots permanently! So true.
