Haven't viewed any poker strat for a while but these thoughts helped me avoid tilt before I became influenced with how tilt impacted other people & it was contagious.
If it wasn't for poker you wouldn't have the opportunity to lose somebody else's $ to lose in the first place. Losing is part of the equation for making $. The entire process is (likely) a huge net victory compared to the job you aren't working at to play poker (based on life sit.). Overall there's not much to complain about. If you take time to reflect & assign a $ figure due to tilt. It's usually a lot easier to get things back together after you realize it costs __ $/min (in the longrun) to be angry regardless of how many buy-ins you won or lost in the last x number of hands.

Former US pro (~2006-2012) turned debt-laden college student trying to make some cheddar over winter break. Took full 2 year hiatus without playing, started back on bovada this summer. Binked tourney for a nice score & probably played less than 2500 hands (live & online) since June.
On Winter Break, ready to grind on Bovada. nee help to avoid unnecessarily bleeding EV. Have very little idea how to correctly play in the new market (esp. Bovada) and am simply guesstimating vs apparent regs on too many marginal spots. I assume there are now some standard very profitable way regs handle certain situations such as static boards on bovada. This stuff used to be intuitive but I'm losing out on equity atm. Without having many reads bc of anonymous tables
No idea about the "table trends" on Bovada (besides lobby stats) If rake is too much of an issue at the lowest stakes I can deposit to play 1/2 but would like to avoid if I can grind up. Don't need a ton of $ right now. In the glory days I usually played predominately 5/10-25/50 NLHE PLO and online mtts with alot of success.
PLO cash will be my new home for a while & maybe a few mtt's (not fan of the inflexible sched). Based on table stats in the lobby and my minimal experience there are clearly tons of mistakes being made. At the same time, rake is proportionately f** huge at those stakes.
Can you guys please fill me on some "need to know" issues before I dive in? I'm sure there are better strategies for playing at these anonymous tables (over attack paired boards), The rake back situation and strategy evolution are the main things I'm worried about. Would be willing to hire a coach for a few sessions. I'd really appreciate a few tips on how to adapt and if there are any specific videos around here that I should watch? With my current situation does it make sense to upgrade my membership here? As a reference I used to play predominately
Thanks in advance
Propranolol. Must get a prescription but will do the trick. In short is a beta blocker mostly used to alleviate anxiety during speeches, presentations (lots in politics & Wall Street) as well as with elderly for blood pressure control). That only works on physical symptoms, is non-addictive, but will quell physical signs of stress/anxiety. The one safety risk I know of regards cocaine so if you like the white lady stat far away from propranolol.
