This isn’t going to turn into a poker blog… there are plenty of those out there, including Iggy’s Poker Blog<\/a>. He pointed me to a bulletin board post<\/a> from David Ross, who’s trying to play online poker for a living. Ross notes:<\/p>\n

One revelation from this week is that I\u2019m still paying off too much when I\u2019m losing. Turn raises from players that don\u2019t bluff, when I\u2019m holding just overcards, or the river bet when the flush card hits. I think I threw away a lot of bets. It\u2019s an interesting phenomenon actually. It\u2019s almost like I want to see what I was beat by this time. There isn\u2019t much doubt I\u2019ve lost, its just a question of to what. And I still pay it. Definitely something to work on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Don’t I know it! As I said in the post just below this one, my high for the day was $175. 50 minutes later and I was down to $155. Sure, it’s loose change to a guy like Ross, but the point is that I started chasing with overcards and paying to see winning hands. Brutal. It’s just not worth it. If I play enough hands, someone else will show me if the guy who’s betting into me is an aggro bluffing river rat with shit hole cards.<\/p>\n

Gotta keep focused on profits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
