Although it seems after 3k hands at 25NL that I'm doing fairly well, I'm losing wads of cash to hands I know I'm gonna lose. I don't do this every time but some sessions... omg I play like a donkey.

It's something like this: I'm with AK and raise pre-flop, end up with fairly tight opp with A-rag-rag rainbow. I 3/4 pot bet the flop, get called. Turn is blank, I bet and get re-raised... what do I do? WTF!? I call or push or do whatever I shouldn't do because I'm against a set or 2p.

The worst part is I'm doing this while I know at the very moment that I'm gonna lose the hand. It's not like I'm tilting or anything, maybe it's because I'm curious what they have. Anyways, I'm glad I'm gonna hit $1000 BR soon so I can move up to 50NL because one reason might be the stakes aren't high enough.

Anyone else do this? What have you done or what I should do to avoid this? Write sticky notes and attach them onto the monitor? Write something down 100 times? Meditate? Has anyone done anyone done anything like this and noticed it works?

And why the hell do I write so long posts...
