I never said you don't understand variance and I never said you suck. Why are you calling with top pair if you have reason to believe you're beat? Why are you calling with sets if you're confident your opponent has the flush? You must be doing something right if your reads are correct as to what your opponent has, now answer the question as to why you are unable to let your hand go and you're on your way to playing better. There is a post in the psychology forum about this. But if you're unwilling to criticize yourself and find your mistakes and the reasons for them, excpect to have more swings. And quit being so f.ucking defensive when people point out things that might help you.
As for myself, I'm not the best, I know that. I'm a student of the game. When I'm locked in and in the zone, I can make some pretty incredible reads and call guys down with crap because I know my crap is better than his crap. However, sometimes too often I think I get knock a guy off a hand. I know what he has and I know what he has is very vulnerable, so, I bet with authority to get him off his hand and he calls me. So, I should probably do that less. I was trying to steal the blinds too much and Barry Greenstein told me I need to do it less so that my button raises will not lose respect. Admitting my flaws is the only way to correct them.
