Mental game Injecting Logic Sheet
So what do you guys think of them? Any feedback is greatly appreciated, Thanks!
This is my print out sheet:
Unconscious Competence Is The Holy Grail
Emotional Threshold
Running Bad Tilt
If the cards always fell in your favor; no one would want to play you. Don't let it set you off, let it set off your opponents. Focus on the decisions and gameflow.Injustice Tilt
Just because you feel like you made the right move doesn't mean you'll get the chips right away. Learn and adapt. Make sure the strategy you've come with is the best for the villain/situation.Hate-Loosing Tilt
If the cards always fell in your favor; no one would want to play you. Don't let it set you off, let it set off your opponents. Focus on the decisions and gameflow. Focus on improving in order to lower variance.Mistake Tilt
You don't know the solution well enough yet. Keep your emotions in check in order to apply new things learned. Mistakes are proof that your trying.Entitlement Tilt
The only thing you're entitled to is making the decisions/moves that you do. Think ahead and reflect on hands to adjust.Revenge Tilt
There's no room for emotions in poker. Play your game and be patient. Adapt with a plan ahead of time.

Seems fine.
However, the comment: "there's no room for emotions in poker" isn't correct. You need a certain amount of emotion to perform properly (indeed to think at all). There's an entire chapter in Tendler's book about emotions. See also: Yerkes-Dodson law.
If you are interested in philosophy, you might want to read David Hume. He argued that reason alone cannot move us to action, but is the "slave of the passions".
Agh yes yes! thanks!
I was about to write something similar to what belrio42 said. I think that to some degree trying to eliminate emotions is counter-productive, because it's not really possible and you might just end up tilting because you can't stop yourself from tilting. Silly reason to tilt, don't you think!
So a better way to think about it would be to manage emotions or trying to live with them in a productive, good way.
"tilting because you realize your tilting" ;'( lol... like when you make mistakes and they cause you to make more mistakes. Makes a lot of sense.
Jared Tendler illustrates it in the "Performance Arousal" curve.

I forgot about it, so this means its probably not yet in my Unconscious Competence stage of my learning process.
It is good to spend sometime in outside dailylife mental game. Do you get jealous easy, picky, not-patient and easy to get annoyed? Some of those correlate with poker and while mproving those your poker game will improve too
Very true, good tip! I've been working on my meditation and paying attention more to peoples body language/tone of voice type thing away from the table. But breaking down/watching my thought process throughout the day seems very GTO ;) Thanks!
