A common pattern of mistakes that most people make is to bet high on a hand, that is good but not good enough and then realize at the showdown they are beaten.
Once we get into betting big on flop, we somehow feel committed to the pot, and on the turn and river we just keep going high without realizing we are risking it all.
How do we acquire the mental discipline to:
- Never go broke unless nuts
- Never bet beyond a certain allowed threshold for each kind of hand; Say for a high pair never put more than 6BB into the pot. For a set never put more than 10BB
- Never call other people raises (unless nuts); you should be the one raising else just quit
Assuming we don't have the mental discipline to control this. What other measures can we take to ensure we don't get hurt by this?
For e.g., Never bet in pots but only in blinds
