I can't count how many times I called All-in and lose the hand. I'd tell myself never to do it again, yet when the situation comes i'd take the chance that opponent is bluffing. Seen people win with pair or two but I can never seem to pull it off. Any advice?
You need to work on your luck factor. Currently it seems that your skillset is lacking in the luckbox department & is in desperate need of adding a few tools into the repertoire.
Try doing things like:
- cover your screen after calling the allin (closing your eyes works too but not as good)
- Stand up from your computer chair and shout out loudly "ONE TIME!!!!"
- Look at the cards on the board as they're being dealt & instead of looking to see what cards villain needs to beat you... really focus on hoping for the cards that 'you' need (ie. you flop a gutshot straight draw & need a '9'... be specific with your request >>> call out "Nine of clubs".. although just saying "Gimmee a Nine" can also be successful. Calling out the 'specific card' is really just a more advanced skill but it can be acquired with practise!
You can be a bit more dramatic too.. ie. "Nine ball corner pocket!" (check out episodes of PokerAfterDark for this one... although I do believe it was said after the card was dealt & not before).
Good luck... keep working on it. Things will work out for ya with 'PRACTISE'!
