| Hi all, I would like your thoughts on a mistake i made yesterday in an online no limit game (100$ max.).By the way you can sit down with 10$ on paradise.(was a question i remembered ). First i played 4 no limit tourneys ( 10 players) 3 $10 tourneys and 1 $20. Finished 6th in $10 loosing pocket kings wich i still find very hard to fold even when i am almost sure i am up against AA. I won the other 3 tourneys wich made me very happy about myself and i played very well. My second mistake was sitting down at 2 no limit tables with $35. I know when i loose it is almost due to the fact that i play 2 tables and a limit which is too high for my bankroll. But what the heck ......i am hot tonight right.. Within half an hour i was up $150 on one and $100 at the other table. i was steaming and ruling. Then came 6h6s middle position folded to me and i raise $4 late position makes it $6 everybody folds i make it $10 he calls. Flop 5h 2s 4h...................I bet $15 putting the pressure on with which i think is the best hand....Shocking to see he goes all-in with $95. Within 3 seconds i decide i have enough changes to improve on wich i still think is the best hand and i easily push the call button. jc and kd follow . Scared now...it takes ages for him to show.....bullets. I woke up out of my winning mood and i am shocked i just gave away $100+ that easy. I quit and i am still up $300 which is a bundle for the limits i play. Taking a shower this morning i am happy but still very puzzled about that $100 hand. How big was my mistake? Did i have the odds were 6 outs enough to cold call...nah. I would like to hear from you how big the mistakes were and does it sounds familiar. Thank you very much. Tommyhawk. | ||

| I'm not sure what you were trying to accomplish with that last little raise before the flop. If I'm holding a small pocket pair, trying to steal, and get played back at from someone in better position (even with a minimal reraise), I think it's time to slow down. Since you made the pot bigger and you chose to bet the flop against another large stack, you are representing a big hand. It's hard for your opponent to think you have a set. I might bet about half the pot on the flop, but I'm going to have to fold when I get played back at. Your opponent must have the ace of hearts, and I can only think of two legitimate hands that might push all-in here. Pocket aces, or an unlikely but possible Ah3h. You couldn't buy it on the flop, so you have zip. | ||

| Just my two cents but up until about 6 months ago i used to have the same experiences ALL the time. I have read all the books, can handle the math, am good with people and honestly think ( and my results used to show ) ,that whilst no pro, i was definitely better than the opposition i was up against. But what i used to do was win steadily but then inexplicably blow a weeks winnings in half an hour ! It was only after i started keeping track of why my bank roll only grew slightly each month that it fully hit home, it is easier ( and more fun ) to gamble and lose than to win. Er lost the point of this but i think it is to say always play your best game. It is no use knowing tells, odds ,theory if you dont apply it ! > I woke up out of my winning mood and i am shocked i just gave away $100+ that easy. | ||
