After winning hand

#1 26th December 2017, 9:24 PM

How do you explain ( my situation, i'm sure others have it too ) situation when after winning big pot, or all in double up, next hand i have filling i will call preflop anything. I will go into hand, with even bad cards, and get involed in hand, sometimes i almost lose last hand winnings. It like i get some energy, like Rambo, i felt unbeatable, which is not true. Few hands after that, i can't simply fold, i need to call bb, need to call raise preflop. and 3-4 hands in a row, i lose minimim BB, and im out of position.

I have done the same thing all the time.
Being a chip leader after a huge pot and after that I get involved on every hand.
I could say that lack of experience of handling big stack is the reason but I believe is a deeper problem, a psychological problem.
I believe that people who win decent money on gambling tend to spend that money pretty fast believing that they will win more money faster.
That thought is from personal experience but it could be easily nonsense 🤔

It's some kind of high. That's how casinos get ya and that's how the pros are separated from amateurs.

Luck is a real thing in the short run though, so if you are running good, why not? Just know enough not to risk everything in case the next hand is when your luck runs out.

Poker is a maths sequence, so many insidents will appear. Winning hands in a row, or losing hands in a row, or something mixed☺

And I'm constantly making the same mistakes, I do not think it's wise and we should somehow focus more on good cards after winning the big pot....

I think that you have it because of poor self-control of emotions, you lack experience and tranquility! This is a bad habit for winrate

I guess this is mostly a psychological thing. You win and after that you start to think that "this is your moment" or that you are invincible. As some guys obove said, every hand is unique and you should play it without putting emotions in it.

You can never think like that. Self-confidence leads to loss. Emotions in poker are unacceptable.

Try to reset your mind. And forget the past. Weather you won or lost the last hand. Hard to do!!

Almost always when I win a big hand I don't go on two or three hands after because the adrenaline is high and you'll probably end up loosing all

Um, don't do this. 34o is still 34o whether or not you won or lost that last hand, or the last 4 hands.

The only thing that makes playing the next hand slightly correct is that the more chips you have the less value that the later chips hold. So compare player A with 25,000 and player B with 1,000. Player A with 25,000... his last 1,000 are worth less to him than the other player B with 1,000.

So since you have more chips they are less valuable... but sttill don't mess with 34o, etc.

same as my personal experience of what i call 'chasing the win' and like already mentioned above this is 1 of a few aspects of the gamble that casino's rely on to:

a, keep you coming back for more of the same creating rake
b, have you less reluctant to stop creating rake

I personally have a gut feeling to fold the next hand regardless of its strength unless pocket pairs 9+ i have done this not every time but most, aprox 70% good folds which has seen me stick with this preference still today.
