think a lot here, is enjoying the process and the journey. a upswing, a downswing and a breakeven stretch isnt a reflection of how good or bad we may be at the game.
I had a tough session last week, i was at the casino playing maybe 7 hours, and i was down a buy in, kept playing, kept playing, won some back. Then i lost a big pot KK vs AA, all in pre flop i just said nice hand and left. Not that i was hugely tilted, like obviously i wasnt happy with the result, but mentally i was fatigued and realized if i kept playing i wouldnt be playing my best.
When people ask me sometimes, oh how much did you win, or how was a session, i dont always like being specific with the details, oh i won x amount or lost x amount, because people who dont play the game understand all the nuances that come with playing. So i like to say it was a good session or bad session, or a decent session.

thanks Chris!
That's a good start for changing some of the thought patterns. Very thoughtful
