I know the all incall was horrible, I don't know why I did it. I knew he had a flush draw on the flop, and my old style would have been to go all in being 2:1. I've decided that isn't enough of an edge and to just call and move in on the turn (if the flush card doesn't come) in similar situations. I told myself "Fold if a heart hits the turn", and than a friggin heart hits, he moves in, and I still call (after nearly running my clock down from it's 60 seconds,trying to convice myself he would make a pot size bet on the flop with a king with a lower kicker, than move in on the turn when the pot is large, thinking I was BS'ing with a lower PP (yeah right!). WTF is wrong with me? If I was going to play the hand this badly I should have just moved in on the flop. And I don't like his play either, for one he bet too big on a non-nut flush and all he had was a draw, he put 1/4 of his chips in on a draw that wasn't to the nuts. I could of had the AK of hearts (or any other ace flush draw) and he is drawing dead to running 8's or 3's. But I can't place the blame on him, he overplayed his hand (in my view) and got paid off. The only positive thing is I felt he had a flush draw and I was right, just my discpline to fold the hand was not there. This is the main reason for poor results in the past, not following my instincts, getting married to hand, convincing myself I have someone beat, and not folding the hand. Anyone have any suggestions on improving on this? Does anyone ever feel like if they laydown a hand they might be giving up too much? I could have left myself 810 at the 15/30 level, I must really be stupid...
