Man... I think my kryptonite in online poker is psyching myself out. I've started to realize that a lot of the times I lose out on a big pot is because I don't give enough credit to the villain on a hand. Just another typical big loss due to my own stubborness.
For some reason, I have this gut reaction to think someone re-raising more than the pot with the nuts before the turn or river is bluffing, because in my mind, if you have the nuts, you should just let the opponent bury himself.
You know, I realized I kind of had this problem in the past (online mind you, in brick and mortar games I'm MUCH more tight and focused), but with these hand histories and responses, I've come to realize that this is my major flaw that repeats itself several times over.
Even though it's late into the game, I just still get this notion that it's a freeroll so that people will try bs bluffs more often than in a real game. Stubborn. Stubborn. Stubborn.
This is from a freeroll Wednesday for suited pockets. Made it to like 32nd place or something like that before getting knocked out.
