Naphand, I assume a well known poster, was responding to another post and came up with what I thought was a great starter list for myself (and others hopefully). I was hoping that others would add to this list where he posted, but it was in the middle of a LOOONG thread and therefore probably didn't get the attention it deserved. I thought it would be a good idea to ask others to add to it in a separate post since his list helped/reminded me. NO REASONS ARE TO BE CONSIDERED INCORRECT, PLEASE!
Here is our starter list from Naphand:
[ QUOTE ]
What are the factors in a downswing which cause us to either increase our variance or reduce our EV? Here is an off-the-cuff list, additions and discussion could prove productive, even if people think they have a highly personal/individual flaw.
(1) Tilt - overplaying hands against a fish that could suck a football through a straw.
(2) Missing value-bets due to "fear of the nuts" or even just any kind of suckout.
(3) Focussing too much on one player.
(4) Not really focussing on any players (the "numb distraction" thing).
(5) Playing too long and too tired.
(6) Limping into more hands, to play more hands against the fish at less cost.
(7) Playing way too tight.
(8) Sitting out after small wins.
Anyone?
