Coping with attach buy in
Morning All,
I love money, I believe the wonderful properties of money can bring great value. I have been investing for years, I understand stocks takes many years to see returns . I have bought books on investing and how to read corporate balance sheets.
I have held the same stocks for over 10 years with great returns and never sold, this is not to brag, but to help understand the emotional aspects of the game.
My biggest downfall is my attachment to buy ins, I am a cash game player only. I play 1/3 and 2/5 NL. I have no problem folding pocket AA or KK if these were limp pots, but if I call a $100 pre flop raise, I become committed.
What does one do to overcome the psychology of this? I get butt hurt when I do not see return value of a raise. I am constantly watching my chips, just the blinds itself gets me emotional.
Any help would be great, please don't post if are pre determined to be negative.
