I am not as good as I think I am (no strategy here)

[Rico Suave]

During last night's session, my wife was standing behind me when I get a hand, bet it up on the flop and turn, and then check behind with 2 opponents. As I decide to check, I tell my wife, "I really should bet here, but I am a wuss." MHIG...and they both would have called. I groaned a bit, and she said something like,"I wouldn't be too upset, you still won a nice pot." NO! That is not the way to think about it. "I just missed 2 bets, and I now have to play an extra 100 hands to make up for that mistake!" She did not say anything...she got it. But when am I going to get it.

Later, I missed a clear turn raise. No, it was not close, not marginal, *A CLEAR TURN RAISE*, but Rico thinks, "hey I do not want to fold the button, so I will wait till the river to pop it." In summary, 2bb or more missed, and another 100 hands to make up for the mistake.

Again later, I hit my set, and I go 1 too many raises, when it was clear I was up against the nut straight. Lost 2bb more than I should have...another 100 hands to make up for that mistake.

Next time I start talking like I am really good or something, or whining about my win rate, or give a newbie a hard time...please direct me here.

That is all.
