How to survive your WORST Session EVER

[@colintimp1372]

Never be afraid to take a break!!! My trick when things aren't going well is: I take a break and then come back and pretend I'm starting a whole new session. Too many people are afraid they'll miss out on a big hand while they're gone; but you're far more likely to be missing losing hands; especially if you're already losing. Tip 2: if you think you should leave, leave. Period.

[@shteebo]

I agree. A break helps you regain your mental/emotional bearing, but more importantly, will help calm the sharks who will, quite correctly, target the "tilted loser" with their most focused aggressive play. Playing competently through a short streak of losing hands is an important skill every player should develop. However, an obvious string of horrible losses creates a losing dynamic. Walk away, regroup, and play another day.

[@sojc7144]

Excellent tip!! Thanks!!👍

[@dkizxpt-su3ze]

Johnnie, I love how you make your videos story-based. Your story approach makes your videos really enjoyable.

[@daniels9775]

Dude, Johnnie, thank you for this video! It was a bit different, but super valuable. I feel like I am also naturally pretty chill, but I definitely can get worked up….so I need to focus on relaxing during my most stressful situations if I want my best chance at high performance. Keep on enjoying the grind!!

[@theodorehsu5023]

Some guys can take a downswing easier, some not so much. But you got over the threat to go monkey tilt, and that naturally chill mindset you had helped. Your lessons here are valuable.

[@mattlogan1]

Lately I’ve been getting “winner’s tilt” where I go up a bit and then get overconfident and splashy

[@theodorehsu5023]

@@mattlogan1 The Curse of the Upswing: the more you win off good hands and bluffs and the more you realize you're profiting, the more likely you will overplay your hands and then get taken to the cleaners. Last night I won some hands off my friend in heads-up quarter-ante poker, then got my trips whacked by a straight. I then got down a few bucks before I finished up five bucks (he's my best friend, so I am not trying to G-man him).

[@noshyt005]

You’re a legend Johnny! Glad to hear you chip back in the right direction.

[@Humanprototype-wh8qr]

What a great video Jonnie, brutal session. even more brutal come back, much respect.

[@leehjones]

Great stuff Johnnie and congratulations on not tilting. The sessions I'm most proud of are the ones where I get buried, but then stick to my plan, play my A game (however good that is) and claw my way back. Dumping coolers on half the table is fun, and certainly profitable, but you grow as a poker and a person when the coolers go against you.

Always enjoy watching Vibes play/vlog. Tough session but highlights the truth of variance in this game. Keep Grinding and putting out content.

[@canaansantiago4605]

ive been playing micro stakes and been getting beat down, i felt really bad but this video reminds me it can always get worse.

[@Williy_Nilly]

It is so important to recognize tilt. I now make it a habit to take a break for at least 20 minutes to reset and shed any residual hostility.

[@alexcarpenter2465]

What an example of mental discipline. One of my favorite vlogs to date!

[@lecosmique]

Solid! I knew you could handle the downswing, but holy shit that one was massive. I might have lost my mind after that QT hand. But man, that is a HUGE win to come back to profit land after that. Your skill in that mindset aspect of the game is what initially got me sub'd your your channel years ago. Congrats on the win JV!

[@dangraffenius1988]

Man, what a helpful vlog, like seriously, perhaps the most helpful vlog I’ve ever come across. Thank you so much!!

Too funny brother. The look on your face refects exactly how we all feel when s# it goes wrong. Been there, done that. This is the reality of poker. This is the ultimate ego teardown. This is what makes us humble. This is why we love the game! Well done.

[@scottyrfd8468]

Great tips and video Johnnie, This reminds me of a recent session where I was about to leave and had 4 hands back to back of A.K / A.Q etc and losing each one to under pairs or a worse Ace. Unfortunately it was the end of my session but I still had the urge to stay and battle back. Thanks for the tips and good luck at the tables 👍

[@Matthew-gg8ep]

Great stuff Johnnie as usual thank you for the content seeing the winking hands that brought you back would be cool too.

[@R0BN0TB0B]

Very zen as always Johnnie! Great tips too. This reminded me of one of my worst sessions, losing almost 400 BB in about 1.5 hours. Hopefully these speed bumps won’t happen often, but the next time it does I’ll try these tips out.

[@scotts6702]

JVibes storytelling once of a man who lived life's swings believing " its neither good nor bad, it just 'is'. " . One of my favorite stories. Those tilt tips are great but are very challenging to apply if a persons DNA is hard wired towards being more emotional. The worst tilts Ive observed are when folks are getting crushed playing above the bankroll. Very Nice come back. 👍🏻😎

[@patocall8146]

So the guy who beat you earlier when he flopped a set with his middle pair,8s, now is betting again on a J,9,8,7 board? And you call to get shown another set using middle pairs and you're surprised? You made a great comeback and I understand it's being streamed, but just learn player tendencies

I would be very hesitant to play on any live stream in the next ten years at least after the Postle and Robbi controversies. You are very brave and I give you credit for that. I would not be surprised if Nick V and Ryan are close friends with Robbi and they are massive cheaters in the industry. They just fit the bill in a weird kind of way. Dgaf seems slimy as well.
