Problems

"Beamer, Benz, or Bentley? My pants are never empty." -Lloyd Banks

So, after my poker session this Sunday, I know what my poker problems are. I really hate admitting my faults/weaknesses but I feel it is the best for me. Here they are...

1] Folding
-> This pretty much sums up my biggest leak. For some reason, I can't fold QQ or underpairs when there is a KING on the board. I mean, if dude is betting every street, what can I really beat? That's my problem...I put a hand I can beat in my mind and click on call. I berate people for being calling stations but I turn into a calling station as the pots get bigger as well as payouts. I really have to stop IMO.

2] Tilt
-> I still suck at this. If I get unlucky three times or more within a short span of time, I can blow past it. BUT, why can't I let it go if it happens all day? I say I can but I let it affect me pretty hard. Bill knows this. LOL. I know I have to keep playing and playing. I just need to remind myself that I just have to do the right move and deal with what happens. Even if something goes wrong 190980989098908x. I shouldn't tilt since I am fortunate in many other ways. Oh well.

3] Leveling myself
-> I can literally tell myself to raise 3x with a vulnerable hand but magically open for 2.2x. For example, I have 88 in the SB with 20 BBs and the big blind has 40 BBs. It is folded to me and I just open for 2.2x and BB calls. Flop will come out something like 472 and I check and BB checks behind. The 7 hits on the turn and I ship my stack to get snapped by 78. I always level myself by thinking everybody is smart. I need to just snap out of that. I don't think about future streets. I just play bad and get angry when I get destroyed by 78. I could easily win the pot by betting bigger and just leading out. It is definitely a big leak.

I am pretty sure there's other shit I can post but they all fall under the same umbrella of bad play. The solution is putting in volume and letting things go. I know it is the answer but it is super different to apply it at all times. I have to make it happen because I REALLY do not want to reload. Fuck that.
