I normally stick to <=5% of my bankroll and that is fine, but occasionally I will win a freeroll or a satellite and get shots at big Sunday games which is pretty, pretty good.
However, I am finding when I take these shots I play my worst poker. I over-estimate my opponents completely to the point where I end up in needless levelling wars, 4-betting light against player types who aren't the high roller sharks I somehow manically conclude in my mind just because I'm running slightly -EV. :laugh:
So any advice for taking shots? Even if it is just to emotionally detach from the game. I feel like a complete whale, as if I am playing poker for the first time again. Any logic just seeps out of my mind. My auto-pilot, B, C and D game all play better than my taking shots game.
Thanks in advance for any help!
