Re: TOP: poker is one big game
Being a new player, one of my bigger problems is that short-term money making goal. I don't exactly have a number on it in my head, but if I lose a buyin, or if I double up, my style changes.
After I lose the buyin, I find myself playing to break even for the day, even though I tell myself that doing so is wrong. After I double up, or see my stack far above the max buyin, some reflex clicks in and I play far tighter than is profitable, as if the money I have made in those few hands is "enough."
How do I fix this, other than smacking myself across the face every time I realize I am doing it?
