In an effort to plug my leaks, I’ve been trying to develop a rigorous decision-making process. This is primarily because I often find myself calling or betting “on impulse” despite knowing better.
I’m using a “traffic light” flowchart process. I have to pass through a series of Red, Yellow, and Green questions before I bet.
Here are some of the questions:
RED
-Why is my opponent still betting?
-Is there a hidden straight/flush/set out there against me?
-Is my hand definitely beaten?
-Is a Fold the smart decision here?
YELLOW
-Do I still have the best hand?
-How am I vulnerable?
-What are my outs?
-What are the pot odds?
-What does my Foe want me to do?
GREEN
-Call or Raise? Small raise or big?
-How can I pressure my Foe to make a bad decision?
I have two questions for the forum:
1) How do other folks make critical decisions, by experience/instinct or methodical analysis?
2) Any general suggestions on improving my “traffic-light” scheme would be welcome.
Thanks
