Lesson Learned

Filed under: Poker Challenge — admin at 6:41 pm on Monday, July 23, 2007

Yesterday night as i sat at my pc playing 2 cash games on carbon poker, i learnt probably one of the most important lessons i could, don’t tilt. Titling is when you play when you really shouldn’t be, normally after a bad beat. You go after your “lost” money by playing stupidly, normally overly aggressive. I did this, but luckily it wasn’t very costly for me and i only lost $30 or so, but it did put me back behind the $2000 mark.

Why did i tilt?

I tilted because i raised preflop $2 at a 25cent/50cent table, i held Ace-King the flop came down Ace-King-4 holding 2 pairs i elected to raise $3 in to a $4.75 pot. I was called, then the next card showed a 7 again i raised $7 again i had a caller, the board didn’t show a flush draw. The river came a 9, now there was no chance of him holding a straight or a flush, i bet another $11 into the pot, only to be called by pocket nines, ouch. So then i hit the lower limit’s knowing i wouldn’t be playing my best.

Today i played much better and will keep that for the next update, probably in a day or two.

This is just awful luck. You that isn’t tilt. You had a guy drawing at 2 outs till the river, and then not raise the river on you so you lost the least amount possible with a strong, but second best hand.

I have some strategy articles at my blog
