Once every two months. Worst was when I folded the nut flush.

Not my error, but it's a good one.

Was playing HU the other day. I raised with A3o I think, very LAG villain re-raises, I call.

Flop A77.

I check, villain checks. Villain not making a continuation bet here is so suspicous I briefly consider folding the turn. I put him squarely on trips or perhaps A7.

Turn is blank, I check, he checks.
River is blank, I check, villain checks.

Villain shows 77 for flopped quads [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

For some reason I don't fvck up online, but B&M I can remember every stupid noob thing I have ever done. Most recently was folding my hand HU, missing out on what would have been a split pot.

If you want a pm, you'll have to reduce your saved pms below 200

In the past week I have hit the fold button with AK in the BB and while playing the steal/resteal blind game checked the river when I didn't realize I had made a one card straight.

Also, when I was getting out of a session and kind of on tilt, I had TJs on my last hand and it was raised and reraised to me with 2 of my suits down. I had the odds/implied odds to call, yet folded. The flush hit. Annoying, but I knew it was analytically a mistake when I made the fold, so I deserve it.

Sometimes I will find myself in the middle of the hand with no idea of the previous action, so I'll make a "continuation bet" with air when I didn't even have the lead.

This happens to me whilst 8 tabling 6max. I generally just look at the pot size and the players in the hand, and my position, to quickly figure out what my previous action must have been and decide what to do next.

When I first started playing on Stars I misread two boards and capped a non-nut hand when there was a flush on board that I didn't see. Now I use a four color deck.

My big one is seeing a hand and thinking, I'm going to raise preflop, and not noticing an UTG raise, and ending up 3-betting with a KQoish hand that I probably should have folded giving who raised.

In my HULA match on Prima, I didn't realize I wasn't using a 4 color deck and went nuts with the non nut no pair when I thought I had the nut flush. Ouchy.
