Iwind's bad calls thread

[Iwind]

This actually does seem like a good idea, I'll post here every big call I make when I'm behind. Hopefully there won't be too many hands in this thread. Feel free to leave comments.

Kinda bad, but it's a small pot, of course they have to give me the king on the river.

Passive = bad.

[Iwind]

Usually yeah, not always though, but the hand is bad for sure.

[Toadstool]

Do you find yourself calling out of curiosity, even though you know its a bad call, you do it anyway just to see if you're right? That's the biggest leak I know of in my game at the moment and was wondering if you have any tips on how to get more discipline?

[Iwind]

I'm working in that, I think that's probably the biggest leak in my game at the moment, dicipline, and talking myself into calling when I'm pretty sure I'm behind. Maybe curiosity has something to do with it, but it's mostly hoping that it's a bluff and not being realistic enough. I don't really have any good tips now, but as I get better at this I might.

[Renton]

iwind, that last hand is very interesting.

Theres a fine line between when you should make a value calldown with a hand, and when semi-bluffing it on an earlier street is more profitable. Anyone have any thoughts on where its better to do one or the other?

[Renton]

it probably has a lot to do with the aggness of the villain. If the villain in that last hand were h@l, then wouldn't your line be optimal, considering how much he spews?

[gabe]

h@ll would never play a hand like this anyway, but against a stupid LAGtard i would be happy to get allin on the flop
