Re: That one stupid mistake
I understand the feeling, it happens to me sometimes.
I`ve been thinking a lot about it and this is what I came up with:
It usually happens when I`m playing ultra aggressive, I control and terrorize the table and when someone fights back I just get stubborn and I refuse to act on my read ( which tells me that I`m pretty much beat ).
It`s like I get carried away in the bullying and can`t back off even when I know I`m dead.
The fact that I act very fast, like a reflex, tells me that I`m dealing with the fight part of the Freeze/Flight/Fight trilogy ( our ancient defensive mechanism ).
Thats how I see it and from my experience the only way for me to avoid silly things like that is to ALWAYS take at least 5 seconds before any action.
Don`t rush any decision, take some time to think about it.
It really helps. [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
