Online Poker Tilting
Ok, so I've determined that I am not a very good online poker player, at least not right now. Most of the time I play limit online, be it 1-2, 2-4, 3-6, or 5-10 I log about 3-4 hours in a row and earn a decent profit, maybe 20 big bets or so. So things are going well at that point. I take a break and start up a new session later that day or the next, and go basically card dead. Because the online environment turns me into an action junkie, I tend to increase either my limit or multi-tabling to compensate for the downtrend in cards. Thus the shrinking of my online bankroll. It's almost like chasing your losses in blackjack by increasing your bet size. This type of behavior only compounds my tilting.
What's interesting is that this never happens to me in the casinos. It's not like I catch some bad beats in 3-6 and then make a table change to the 1-2 NL to make up for my losses or change of luck. Over the long term horizon I'm a break-even/small profit low limit player in the casinos, but a perennial losers online. Another reason for me to stick to the brick casinos.
