Re: How often do you mess up?
About once per session, usually after I've been playing for a while, I will make a stupid play. And it almost always involves calling where I should raise or fold, and then firing again on the next street to make up for what was a bad call on the prior street. Which amplifies the mistake.
After the hand, I either (a) immediately admit to myself how stupid it was as I think through the hand, when I am in a good frame of mind, or (b) rationalize how villain made a bad play with a weakish hand and should have folded, when I am in a bad frame of mind. Situation (a) leads to better play for the session, while situation (b) is the downward tilt slope.
Frequently at least once a session, which can be the turning point for a good or bad session. I can be my own worst opponent.
