The real players know what you intended when you make certain moves, and if they would have made the same move, they shrug it off to variance. Pro's don't let bad beats affect them for long, they know in the long run they'll win out.

in the chat box, i wrote 'sorry was targeting BB shortstack'
he wrote back, dont worry NH, i play the same and sometimes it happens, GL and take it down'

he is clearly a proffesional due to the amount of tables, stakes hes playing etc...
do most proffesionals have this atitude??
, i said gr8 atitude to him.

That's good to hear. I've run into a few people with that same attitude. Breath of fresh air. Although sometimes it is kind of hard to keep that attitude, once again, it'll help you in the long run if you do. All about the long run apparently lol

I've been getting better with tilt lately and as I go on I see my bankroll coming up (even after a bad night or two) and it's getting easier and easier to be able to deal with it. I'm not perfect, don't get me wrong. I play micros, but ya gotta start somewhere.
