Re: My biggest leak: stupidity
[ QUOTE ]
I really hate betting the turn there unless you know villain will stack off with AT-AK there. [/ QUOTE ] Well, in that specific hand against that specific opponent, I knew he *wasn't* going to stack off with overcards, but I also knew he was steaming from a previous game where he flopped a set of 8s against my top pair, and I runner-runner full-housed him. So, he certainly would have called overcards on the flop, and might have called again on the turn behind. [ QUOTE ] (no more snapcalling ftw) [/ QUOTE ] That's the really silly part of all this. None of those three situations (or any of the dozens of similar situations) were snap-calls. I thought about it, figured I had to be beat, and then put the money in anyway. I'm just hoping that by publicly exposing my stupidity, maybe I'll be more likely to stop. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Re: My biggest leak: stupidity
I feel you TNixon. I blame it all on learning math.
Normally, I lay my opponent on one specific hand and play accordingly. Well, bring in math. I see that this idiot just bet 1/2 pot on the river, and I can't bring myself to fold even though I know I am beat. Why? Because I all of a sudden second-guess my read, because I "only have to be right 20% of the time." Or it's even worse when they bet 40 into a 600 pot. I mean, come on. Do I really "have" to call here? |

Re: My biggest leak: stupidity
I'm on massive tilt right now and if I feel I'm beat but i have "a hand," you are going to be very happy.
