[Closed] I need advice - Major Leak

_Anonymous_ · 2009-09-09T23:48:34Z

Hey folks, I have a hugh problem that is costing me money and am just wondering if anyone else has had this issue, and if so what they did to try to rectify it. I am convinced so often that if someone 3 bets me, or goes all in quite often, that they are bluffing. Normally I have the 2nd best hand at the time, and end up losing my stack. It has cost me most of my smallish bankroll, however I think it has been worth it just to identify this problem. I am sure that if I can address it then I can start to play profitable poker. I am aware this is my major leak, however I keep making the same mistakes. Perhaps just writing it down in here will help, perhaps someone can advise of similar problems they have had and ways to help address it. I take a 3bet/allin to me personally, as though someone is accusing me of bluffing, and it is just crazy tbh, because then I feel totally obliged to call. This normally although not exclusively happens when I do have a strong hand, like TPTK. However normally when I call the bet, or go allin as is usually the case, I find I am facing a set or an over pair. I play NL10 atm, and 180 SnGs, however it is not really a problem in the SnG's as I dont view the chips the same way I view my stack in a ring game. Perhaps this is the problem. Its just weird. I hope you understand what I am trying to say. Hope you can advise something for me :)

I actually put him on 99 or TT or K9. one of them three.

If that was the case, I don't understand the fold at all.

(I don't say that the fold is wrong, but if you put him on this range, you have to call, because you beat 50 % of it.)

i dont beat TT or 99

and i was getting a very odd feel for that hand

i like the attention it has drawn though,

hand of the week?

If you record profits, however, credit should be given where credit is due.

Count the cards, there are as many combos of K9 as there are of TT and 99 together there. That's what Meiffert means when he says that *if you think he always has either of these*, you have to call. It's not true though so ez c/f
