I am still fairly new to the game (about 4 months of playing seriously, I have been playing poker my whole life) and I have realized that I still suck.

One of my biggest weaknesses, I think, is the Big Blind Curse. I will be sitting in the big blind with a marginal hand, get to see a free flop, and I will flop something that always ends up being the second best hand, and (most importantly) I will go all the way with it and lose my whole stack.

I just don't seem to have any discipline in this department. I am generally a very tight player, so I am not used to dealing with these kinds of situations post flop.

Example: In a tournament I will have J9o on the big blind. Three players limp to me and I check. I the flop comes J 2 3 (suits irrelevant). I bet out with my top pair shitkicker and get called. Long story short, I pot commit myself and lose to JT.

Does anyone else have this problem like me? Also, does anyone remember having this problem and overcoming it?
