You Can't Do That on Television

So here's the problem... in order to be successful at internet poker the following character traits are nearly imperative: a wildly competitive spirit, fearlessness on the tables and in depth self analysis and critique. Having the said attributes inevitably leads to following chain reaction: borderline decisions --> bad luck --> massive downswings --> demonstrative frustration --> sour demeanor. For three years I have diligently tried to become emotionally detached from the natural variance of the game. If anything I have only regressed. I guess all there is to do is apologize to those around me when poker is pooping on my head.
