The Poker Nerd

I honestly never thought that the idiots I play with online could put me on tilt, but there’s an interesting correspondence here:

Record in online tournaments before turning off chat on PokerStars (since coming back from Vegas}: 0-21
Record in online tournaments since turning off chat on PokerStars: 5-2 (with 1 final table.)

There are a few other factors that may be contributing to the swing, but I definitely don’t miss the scintillating conversations of the PokerStars intelligentsia.
