Re: Tough laydowns and the voice in your head
I think what he's getting at is how to avoid making crying calls early in a session. He knows he's making a bad call (correct me if I'm wrong). I noticed this in my play as well. An hour and a half into a session, a hand like this is an easy muck (barring a great read). I used to make calls like this early on, then rebuy and be chasing for the entire session. Anymore, I stay out of peoples' way early in a session...playing only hands that beg to be played. Once I have a solid feel for the table, I'm fine.
What the hell was the Villian thinking, betting $20 into a $150+ pot on the turn with A-A? He played this hand horribly in my opinion. One lesson this teaches as far as low limit NL goes...beware small bets. Learn which opponents use them to trap and which ones just pray you'll fold when they bet $10 into a $160 pot.
Where was this game? I want to get on the waiting list.
