What is that concept? Would an example be when I make a mistake in poker by overlooking something extremely obvious? Does that qualify as a Simple Stupid mistake?


I let a guy check-raise me on the Turn recently when it should have been obvious that he was putting on a big act in the hopes that I would bet. I think it was obvious to anyone at the table who was paying attention. But I was tired and held top set on a board of Jd Th 9d. He check-raised the Flop. I called. The Turn was an Ace. He made a big deal (for him) of inspecting the board closely before betting but in my tired stupor I almost ignored this and bet anyway. Anyone with half a brain should have known he was putting on an act. Paid him off on the River too. He held the KdQd. Nice job M, I guess that was pretty Simple Stupid.
