Is it just me or do you guys get this from time to time?
I'm talking about a mental brain fart moments, I just had one.. raised up in the button, got 2 callers (I was short stacked, had 8 BB's) .... on the flop it went check, check and I raised 1/2 the pot, I missed the flop but there no high cards on the flop... I said to myself if I'm called - I will fold on the turn or check obviously, if I'm lucky........ what happened was I was called but instead of check/folding on the turn, I talked myself into going all-in on the turn, so so stupid/careless .. what was I thinking? I KNOW that I should have just checked/or folded to any bet on the flop, maybe if I held a flush/straight draw a semi bluff/shove would have been the right move. I suppose it's just a case of not putting yourself in any tricky situations, AND always having a plan and being able to ALWAYS get away from a hand IF needed, even if that hand costs you half your stack etc etc... I'm thinking my issue is leaving open the exit door if needed, often (like the hand above) I get OVER attached to a hand and put my self in these tricky situations... spots where I can and often do talk myself into 'making moves' that aren't there to be made .. I'm thinking.
How do you prevent melt downs happening? Any tips?
