LEARNING TO LOOSE

I hate to loose, but I don't need to be first all the time – this is one thing holding me back

Explanation – Loosing hand (specially at the situation where I should win) will cause me to go tilt and I will start to try and make it back in situations where I simply not favorite to win anyway

Conclusion – Not to focus on one hand but bigger picture. Even if You loose hand or two – You still can win session.

Not fighting hard to win pot where I did put money in

Explanation – Calling down pots where I should bet. If player after Cbet will check on turn – there is two possibilities. One - he/she lost interest on this hand. Two - he/she will try to trap You,

Conclusion - Keep in mind – mostly nobody hits anything after flop. Trappers are mostly tight aggressive players or some regulars. Loose Aggressive player will try to bet most out of You anyway and passive player will not bet usually at flop without very good hand . Ofcoure there are still regulars, but it comes down aggressive or passive again

Choosing wrong enemies

Explanation – Going in fight with players who I should not. Player at blinds not folding enough according to stats but my opening range at CO or Button shows me to bet. Fighting for pots with players who's WTSD stat is high – they will not fold no matter what or fighting with passive player. They are passive for reason. And Yes she/he did hit nuts if they will call You bets.

Conclusion – Got to remember to check stats first. Should not get exaited having pair of AA or KK after hour (or even longer) waiting without any decent hand in right spot. There will come always another hand and oppurtunity to fight (win)

I am the biggest enemy to myself

Explanation – I like to be winning poker player, but not to win every pot. How can I be winner not fighting for every pot I did get in ? I like to have results but without hard work – still stragelling to put more time in poker. Got to treat poker like work if I should like to see results. I like to give a little but have back big – not studying poker enough – just some articles and bit hand reviews

Conclusion – From now on: Every day four sessions (200 – 400 hands – depends 1 or 2 tables at zoom), I did figure out - most I loose in long sessions. Not for me. 1 hour (at least) for reading and learning + Leak Buster
