Default Re: Psycological problem with big hands / big pots

When facing a river shove for instance, say to yourself "What am I trying to beat when I call?"

By focusing less on 'I have 2 pr' and more on 'This guy just made a straight', you should make better laydowns.

Also, accept the fact that occasionally you will lay down a winner, but be saving $$ in the long run. Just like folds you make UTG, some hands would have won, but overall folding is best.

Same deal here---what are you trying to beat? Some of your 2 prs might win, but winning a few here and there won't make up for all the times you face the nuts/bigger hands.
