Re: Confess your poker sins
I berate the good players at the table, hoping they'll either think I'm a donk that doesn't understand, or get up and clear a space for a bad player to join.

Re: Confess your poker sins
I built up a $250 stack on a $25 and gambled it all away the same way I got it... *cries about it now* -- wish i woulda just left. I have plenty more unspeakable sins that I won't get into.

the dealer leaves and I let one loose. Seat 8 smells it and makes a comment I blamed it on the dealer |

Re: Confess your poker sins
Since I confessed my sins, I have been winning at a rate of over 8 BB/100 hands.
So I just wanted to add that I sometimes call too much, and occasionally I go on tilt after a bad beat, although I have made a lot of progress on the later. |

[ QUOTE ] I have one so bad that I'll post after I get results. For now, it's berating fish at $0.25/$0.50 and lower after getting outdrawn. I never do it in my regular game but I derive so much satisfaction from it. [/ QUOTE ] I was playing online 2/4 the other day, and I went bust on a short buy after getting outdrawn as a small favorite. I started typing "FUK YOU THAT WAS MY RENT MONEY!! OMFG, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?" I then proceed to load up with something like $1300 on the table. Everyone thought it was pretty funny actually, including the guy who sucked out on me. I never actually berate people. [/ QUOTE ] LSHMCH!!!! (laughing so hard my chest hurts). |

Re: Confess your poker sins
I was playing 4/8 omaha eight or better with a full kill the other night and almost every pot was a kill. I play ok when its a full table and everyone else is playing badly, but then it got down to 3 people b/c everyone else either left or went broke, and I had a foul-mouthed whacko aggressive tilter on my left. Instead of admitting to myself that I had no idea how to make strategic adjustments, and leaving the game, I ended up losing my whole buy-in.
I then decided to quit playing omaha/8 and switch over to some 4/8 hold em action. I ended up losing, but I played really really well. One mistake I made playing that night was to basically call out this guy's tell before I folded when this guy rivered me. I've never done this before, and I'll try to never do it again, even though I found it satisfying at the time. I probably made another mistake also. I bluff-raised this one guy, who I knew held a small pocket pair, on the river and then I showed it. I'm not sure if it was a big mistake or not, but I broke my rule about showing hands: never show your hand unless you have a specific reason to do it |

Re: Confess your poker sins
I too often play when I'm sick, tired, distracted, annoyed, can't sleep, am waiting for someone, or otherwise cannot focus properly on the game.
