So the solution is not to work out how not to be outdrawn because you will be outdrawn whether you play perfectly or not. You need to learn how to react rationally in the event of the outdraw but I know how you feel, perceived mistakes leading to bad outcomes feels way worse. However a) flop and turn weren't "mistakes" b) throwing good money after bad is irrational c) everybody gets outdrawn all the time, this is the game you chose
really smart post mate
we can aspire to play perfectly, but the truth is none of us do
but if you can make
every decision a rational and calculated one, and sit calmly making the best possible decisions in hands even when they run against you, then at least your current technical skill level is the only thing determining results (ignoring variance)
