why do you enter a pot UTG+1 with 5-4s?
why do you call a 3xBB raise with 5-4s?
why do you raise 50xBB with a non-nut draw?
might as well call the last $125.10.

Thx for the advice, entering the pot is questionable. I have had good luck with smaller suited connectors lately. I don't think it matters here much if I have the nut draw or not. I doubt he is sitting there with a fullhouse or AKs.

The huge error was the $100 raise. THIS WAS EXTREMELY STUPID.

that put commited me. The main thing is I don't know what I was trying to represent to make this semibluff work the 60 something % it has to to be +EV.

I am not looking for poker advice though. I know with 100% certainty I played this hand like [censored].

I am really looking for a psychological way to prevent the type of absentmindedness that has bothered me my whole life. I am considering drugs for ADHD, but I feel like that would kinda be like a pro athlete taking steroids. I would need more information.

For future responses please don't talk about this as a strategy hand. I am looking for psychological advice here. It bothers me that I can do something so dumb from a strategy point of view when I know better.
