welcome in vingers,

none of us are 100% disciplined...period. we all F-up at one time or another. some more frequently, but anyway...

theres an old article (sorry i've lost the link) to a daniel negreanu article that i would recommend (sp?).

daniel states when he was struggling with discipline early on he would allow himself a session to "tilt." it made it easier for him to stick with the grind when he had a set time to "let loose" all the steam of bad beats/wrong decisions taken/made during the week. it also kept him more disciplined on his normal days. it also tought him about playing/handling tilt. it also tought him how to play some funky, junky hands. it also tought him how to change his table image. good read, i recommend that you search for it. not to redirect traffic, but he has his own site (i doubt that was a bombshell announcement).

of course, this too takes discipline to avoid ruining any winnings from the week. i would suggest taking a session...dropping a couple of levels...and letting loose for 30 mins or so...to minimize your losses. eventually, you may learn how to tilt the night away and gain some money.

when i struggle with discipline, i go play some tourneys. allowing me to make some stupid bullying moves, and if they fail i'm only out the buy-in. and sometimes, i build a hell of a stack in the process and get in the money easily.

early on, when i played a lot more tourneys, i would do the same thing. i knew he had me, but i wanted to "make a move" like the guys i see on TV. and would be overly aggressive into a guy that wasnt going anywhere. obviously, i hit the rail most times.

the greatest teacher of discipline, however, is experience. but you have to be paying attention to what you are learning. you cant just play 5000 hands and expect to get better, you have to learn and adjust along the way, too.

hope that helps, and welcome aboard.
