So not sure what's wrong with me.... but I've been making too many plays like this, overbluffing.
I've been playing breakeven poker for the last week. This is after watching too much Doug Polk and trying to create more of a bluffing range.
Anyone experience this?
Since playing with this style and experiencing the higher variance swings (winning lots quick), it's hard to tighten into a lesser bluffing mode. I go after too many pots and lose.
