Kx is in.. table minimized... no reason to watch... its a clear spot... i focus on what I can control; not what i can't which is the result of a hand once I shove my stack in.
We have busted directly into AKo apparently as I checked the hand history; as long as I don't look at it real time.
In fact I wouldn't have even acknowledged it in real time if I wasn't writing this.
The point is: You've read it in Man's Search for Meaning and you will hear it from me a professional poker player: You are only stunting your growth as a player and person by giving something 'power over you' which you have no control of. In that MTT I either have more chips and feel neutral, or I'm busted out of the tournament.
The problem is by looking at the meaningless result real time the best possible scenario is I feel NEUTRAL; and the worst possible scenario is RAGE.
IT IS A TRAP DOOR MY FRIENDS. The only way to avoid the trap door in the first place is to refuse to open it. It then loses any power over you and you can find a better door.
The more self aware you become the more trap doors you will avoid. The more trap doors you will avoid; the more you free up your resources to have a chance of opening a NEW DOOR ENTIRELY. This is where the fun begins my dears.
