Default Re: How You Are Eliminated: What Does It Say?

The emphasis most people put on their elimination hands as compared to other hands is already so exaggerated that I have to say it's much less important than most think. No one needs to convince someone else to carefully examine their bustout hands; EVERYONE does that automatically because they want to see if there was any immediate action they could have taken to avoid elimination.

What isn't so obvious are small mistakes you made that didn't eliminate you but may have costed you a bet here or a bet there and they're often where you're really making big mistakes. While often you played your bustout hand perfect but will still 2nd guess yourself on it.

The elimination hand needs to be downgraded in the mind, not upgraded.
