Errors--Bloopers--Misplays

[CardRG]

How many errors do you make per session? Ever counted them, kept an average? By errors I mean bad or sloppy play, stuff like misreading a board, totally missing that straight draw or three to a flush.

It should make no difference whether it wins you money or loses you money.

Misreading an opponent or any of the countless second guess scenarios that we always go through, shouldn’t count. Hind sight, of course, being 20/20. I’m talking pure, unadulterated errors in technique or execution.

For example, in the heat of battle, do you miscount outs, give yourself the wrong odds, make a play that you wouldn’t have made if you had just taken a few extra seconds to consider?

Of course, some so called “errors” are merely another way of skinning the proverbial cat. Where others are bad any way you slice ‘em, like raising the pot under the mistaken impression that you have the nuts—only to have your flush kicked in the rear by a full house you didn’t see.

In a hundred hands are you capable of playing flawlessly? Do you do so often? Armed with the same information would you play all hundred hands the same way?
