My Biggest Problem Now

Anyone else do stuff like this?

Indeed. Well, I'm not sure how broadly you're defining "stuff like this", but I do make impulsive pushes at times when they logically don't figure to pay off. For example, the other day i check/raised A9s for half my stack then pushed the turn on an A75 flop with one of my suit and no real reason to think I could get the bettor out of the hand with a better hand or get him to call with a worse one.

In that case, I had been check-raised for a lot by someone else with TPMK and for some reason I thought the Villain of that hand was taking shots at me. So that was the reason for my dubious judgment there, and I assume that identifying the problem is half the battle to fixing it.

In general any time I make a greatly unorthodox play in response to some "read", it's usually an overreaction and a questionable read to begin with. If I make a marginal play (call with an underpair against what I think is a big bluff bet on the river), it's often right. Go figure.
