Wow, I am in a bad place the last 3 days.
I have repeatedly gotten into the same situation about 4 times.
good hand
bad spot
thought" hmmmmmm given that last action, he has got to have me beat"
he bets
I call
He wins
thought "Yup, he had me beat"
None of the situations would be considered "great reads". I have just been falling in love with my hand and really want that pot.
The other parts of my game have been okay, but I have not been acting on my reads due largely to that desire to take down the pot.
Any poker zen on this one or is just the poker "slap in the back of the head" that I need?
