Mistakes I have recently made. (Poker, but maybe more)

[mosquito]

The last 5 days have been very frustrating for me,
even though overall it has been a small win.

The swings have been larger than usual, fueled in
part by tilt and frustration.

The mistakes, in no particular order---

1. Not spending enough time at the table when I'm not
tired and in a good mood.

2. Spending too much time at the table when I am tired
and not in a good mood.

3. Paying too much attention to "how I am doing."

4. Calling when it can't be right.

5. Not Calling on the river when it could be right,
and the pot justifies it.

6. Forgetting that a great hand can still be beaten
by the nuts.

7. Forgetting that the fish don't use logic when they
play.

8. Making plays too complex to work against my opponents.

9. Not making plays that I know will work against specific
opponents.

10. Getting emotionaly involved in the game.

11. Not paying enough attention to the game.

12. Forgetting what happened two rounds back.

13. Using rakeback as an excuse to play.

14. Not playing bigger games. (The bankroll is fine).

15. Not adjusting to playing conditions as they change.

16. Playing poorly against VLAG and Maniacs.

17. Getting impatient.

18. Playing too many hands, and too far when I was not
getting anything playable.

19. Not taking a day off when I knew I needed to.

20. Not posting some of this stuff sooner.


Thanks, mosquito.
