Twice in the last mulitable session I made the same mistake, pushing someone who raised my flop bet. Once in a limped pot with TP, once in a pot I raised PF with and overpair. In both cases I looked at the HUD stats but then didn't stop to consider; they were both not loose and not aggressive so I should have considered backing down. In both cases they had sets.
When I single table I rely first on watching the action, supplemented with HH and supported with HUD stats. I have an idea of how each player plays
_before_ any hand comes up and I check the HUD before I make my decision. So my image of each player is built up before the hand happens.
When I multitable I can't rely on that, but, I do have HUD, but I've not trained myself to stop, read HUD, then consider what it means for the situation. Instead I look at the stats, it doesn't confirm anything for me because I don't have a preconceived image for the player, and I ignore it.
Does this make sense? I think I just haven't developed the habit of thinking this way automatically.
So, I'm trying to come up with a method for developing this habit for me. Right now I'm considering:
1) playing as normal, but just trying to remember to check HUD and consider;
2) going down a level and doing more tables and trying to remember;
3) going down a level and cascading the tables instead of side by side so I have to rely on HUD and then trying to remember.
Any thoughts, or other suggestions?
