Don't know about that, seems quite normal.

You might be playing from the blinds a little too much. Do you tend to call flop bets only to fold the turn? Do you call preflop three bets from the blinds alot? Do you cbet A and K high flops most of the time?

Open BTN & CO much more!

Summary Day 9 - 10:

Played a little more yesterday and today. I'm still not good at folding if the session is lasting longer then 30min.

Also watched and studied some interesting video's by Jared:

I usually don't call AKo if I get 5-bet shoved on, did it once yesterday, instantly cost me 1BI vs KK. (Villain (500hands) was 20/16/8 Foldto3bet:65%)

And then there was this hand, also very bad.

Well, day 10...

Already the end of this challenge.

Tilted again, this time a bit longer. Spewed a few pots and got sick of it.

Just can't do it I guess...

Too bad, maybe next time.

Come on!

Tilt and downs are part of the life of poker player

Just take off a few days and starts again!

Tilt comes and goes, just work on managing it

Just try again. Don't stop

Always disappointing to catch up on a blog just to find out they've bottled it.

Keep at it man!

I'd also recommend a bigger focus on study as there was nothing week 1 and week 2 had a very vague 'study concepts'.

If you move your focus onto becoming a better player every day then the results/$$$ will eventually come, also the bigger winner you are at a stake the less downswings will effect you & because of that you should have to deal with tilt less.

Subbed, & hopefully see you return in the right mindframe!

I will study hard on my mental game and come back stronger.

Thread might continue somewhere in the end of december!

GL!!!

ready to read you again!

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but it seems like you´re not thinking about the actual hand, but rather of reasons as to why you should be allowed to call. We´ve all been there before, thinking stuff like "Why do they always bluff me?" lol. I think you should take a closer look at villain´s bet sizing in that hand. It´s just a picture perfect setup for that illusive slightly-less-than-pot river shove. A standard TAG (just a guess, based on bet sizing alone) wouldn´t do this anywhere near enough for your call to be a good call.

Good luck obviously.

You're absolutely right, mumpfmampf. I'd rather lie about it when I say I'm not thinking that way, but I sometimes do (More then I should). It's a big flaw and I will get rid of it!

Thx, Ligarius, it's gonna be good!

Btw, I started a new thread, so this one will not continue.

Pleased to see you following again all!
