Saying that .. i tried to squeeze with 84s tonight and it turned into my biggest loss of the session ..
I suppose there is a difference between FPS and looking to improve.
Live and learn and all that ..
Yeah. #1 if you are experimenting, don't be too hard on yourself when you make mistakes. You are *going* to make mistakes. It is part of the learning process and you can't do anything about it.
2. Don't be too results oriented. Just because a move is EV+ doesn't mean it works all the time.
Here is something that took me a while to realize:
If you are squeezing 84s you know that it is a stone cold bluff. If you get caught bluffing, until you know when to barrel (not sure I do yet lol) it's probably best to just give up when you get called. For example, if you squeeze in a good spot with trash and get called, flop comes 973 rainbow, you absolutely don't need to follow it up with more aggression. That is a spot a good spot to say, well, the squeeze itself was EV+, but didn't work. Betting would be trying to rep AA/KK but villain probably won't notice, and isn't going to fold JJ anyway - time to cut my losses c/f instead of throwing more money into a bad situation.
It is hard, there is a very thin line between FPS/spew and good play.
