    Default Operation: Stop Random Spew!

    I don't know why I do this, but for some reason, I have hands where I just spew like a retard, and for no good reason. So in an effort to combat that, everytime that I make a dumb spewy play, I am going to post it in this thread and explain why its so dumb and spewy, so that reinforces why I shouldn't be doing dumb plays that cut down my win-rate. Feel free to berate me or post your own dumb plays.

    My line in this hand is so stupid. If I though that villain had missed the flop, I should have just check-raised him right there to rep top pair. The only thing I am repping on the turn would be a set or two-pair, and if I am going to bluff, I would need to bluff bigger. Also, I need to remember that villains are calling too much, and even if he is on ATCs, there really isn't much I would beat. I have maybe 5 outs to hit on the river, if I am lucky and the villain doesn't have a T.

    I to am a spewtard, especially in the big blind when you see the flop for free, hit it a bit and then keep betting despite your brain screaming "Fold Fold, he has you beat Fold Fold"
    The second of your two was bad, entering with A4 then calling a raise is gonna kill you.

    Check this out for a BB spew. Me in action but not at my best.
