… do not talk about it. It is hard to collect spilled water.
I think that’s a perfect way of looking at our instinctive reactions to all of the shit stuff we 
end up going through as poker players.
Expensive bluffs, mis-clicks, coolers, outdraws — they happen. Water gets spilled and we explode into analysis mode, talking to ourselves about reasons, blame, what could’ve or should’ve happened… but didn’t, often rounding it off with the cornerstone of any experienced player’s inner monologue — “Seriously, what the fuck was that? I run so bad”.
But what if all those thoughts are just a knee-jerk reflex from our primitive monkey brain? A primitive monkey brain which insists on making the hopeless effort to un-spill the water — to try and pick it up and put it back where it came from?
