What is the purpose of this post?

[/ QUOTE ]Hi Blopp - I don't see how it could be any clearer:

I am reviewing my history in Pokertracker. I found a lot of hands that I played really standard on and lost just due to variance i.e. push with top trips and opponent catches their flush or straight... nothing I can really do to change those situations.

But after I took a lot of beatings it caused me to start playing "gun shy" in the beginning with strong starting hands and then when I have no shot at winning "over playing". This is an example of my slide into playing very weak with an extremely strong starting hand.

Notice when I don't hit my magic trip on the flop, I just check the flop. I repeat this pattern of just calling the flop in order to see what the turn brings in several hands like this one.

When I see that no diamond hits on the turn, I push into the pot hoping to take it down. Then he reraises me... at which point I suspect he either has me beat or is drawing good.

This is what I think I should have done. I should have either potted the flop or even better reraise his bet on the flop.

But as played when he reraised me I really should have folded.

I notice as I go through my database I played a few hands like this, sugestions?

[BTW I know this hand was horribly played. I am just reviewing all my huge mistakes and want to correct them.]

[/ QUOTE ]Doesn't that make the purpose of the post clear to you? If the poster does make the meaning clear, as is seems to me she does, why are you asking? Looks to me like maybe a thinly veiled attempt to belittle the poster. But why would you want to do that?

Low content thread?

[/ QUOTE ]Why would this belong in the low content thread? Why do you care if it's in the low content thread or not? Suggesting it has low content seems an attempt to belittle the poster.

If you want us confirming this is bad and fps, you are right.

[/ QUOTE ]No. That isn't what she wants. And it's not what she deserves.

Alas, you have evidently missed the point of the post.

It's all right if you don't catch on - but please don't insult other posters when you don't.
