I have to stop spewing

I make some really horrible calls by leveling myself on boards where I'm certain to be crushed. I put no logical though behind some calls, and I just hit the button, which destroys my showdown winnings. Today I had a short session and went up a buyin, but I definitely costed myself about 2bi being totally spewy.

Every other session I finish, I look over my hands and there are at least two big pots where I say to myself, "Wow, why did I do that?" Then I realize I could probably up my winrate by something like 3-5ptbb if I just stopped making horrible calls.

Here's an example of a horribly played hand:

I mean, I really had no reason behind flat calling the 4bet, I just decided to click call instead of getting it in. In a broad sense, I don't mind that I got stacked because I'm getting QQ in bvb for sure, but it makes me mad realizing that I could have saved myself most of my money as played had I not been stupid.

So yeah, I'm beating NL100 in general at 3ptbb-ish, so I can't really complain, but I'm also still 10bi under expectation lifetime, so I'd love that to even out. If I can have a few more good sessions, I'll be taking my shot at NL200.

you're doing awesome :3 see you at NL200 after I learn how to beat 6max

i don't have any advice on FR sooo you're prob doing better than I would.

But QQvsAA in the blinds isn't something to worry about imo, although i play 6 max.

It is quite amazing what checking a set of Aces on the flop can do to your opponents...

Nitting it up since 2006
