I played a 20 x $109 seat guaranteed tournament for $22 and for some reason bluffed off my stack on a paired board…he min raised the river and I shoved thinking he was looking for a cheap showdown….Aghhh…why?
When I take a stab at a paired board it seems that whenever I follow through with my second barrel, they always have it. My advice is take a stab and then slow down…call a raise if you have an ace and re-evaluate on the turn.
I re-bought and then came 21st for $20, poker is a tough game so close yet so far…unless you get first prize poker leaves you disappointed…still I played well but need to cut out these “Mike Matusow ” blow ups. It seems in every tournament I have one hand where I dump chips without a good reason or a valid plan for the hand. There is still an emotional element to my game that needs to be cauterised, I need to be objective in all my decisions. I’m going to create a business card and put the script on it so that I go through it in each hand.
Are you being emotional? Will be one of the questions.
