Originally posted by JonikoPI understand you very well here, same with me. But on the other side - EV means basically nothing here, because you just can't count all the times your good hand held up against a worse hand, when you made a right decision to shove or call a shove. So high EV difference in a good side absolutely doesn't mean that you're just very lucky. It's very possible that you simply know when it's better to shove and when not. After winning a couple of hands when your top set holds up against an idiot flush draw with 83s your EV difference increases dramatically making you believe you're a lucky bastard. But the truth is different
Thanks for your responses guys.
Random follow-up question - I've started trying to focus on EV rather than cash when evaluating sessions.
Even though EV is far from the whole story, this seems like a better focus than cash outcome. Problem is that now when I'm +cash but -EV I'm not that pleased with the session. And even when -EV but +cash I can't help but be a bit annoyed!
Anyone else experienced this? Doesn't seem great from a mindset perspective!
On the plus side I'm tilting less at the moment.
