[Closed] whats your biggest stupid mistake?

I have one question. Why o why you call hands like this? If you got a 8,9 even then is hand with A with small kicker in better position (41,18% vrs. 58,24%). After turn you raise, why? Your hand is not compled. Then you got "lucky" and you hit the river and that all in is in my opinion okey, change that you win is 77%.
And jet, DONT call with 7,9..

im sure i explained that at the bottom

I agree, raise it

Dealt to Hero 9♦7♦

Hero raises to $2.50, CO calls $2, fold, fold, fold,

Dealt to Hero 9♠7♠

fold, Hero raises to $1.75, fold, BB calls $1.25,

Dealt to Hero 9♥7♥

Hero raises to $1.75, fold, fold, BB calls $1.50, fold,

Dealt to Hero 9♣7♣

fold, fold, Hero raises to $1.75, fold, fold, Hero

==========================
As played, call turn for the great odds since you dont have fold equity and raise if you get the straight, with the flush you can call since raising puts you in a negative freeroll

"I got the many, i can play like donk" is more like diagnosis than explanation.

This is cash game, you know sometimes you have to play the player and not the cards. The reason most people are told to play the big hands is because you don't have enough skills post flop, so to keep decision making process simple, stick to the basics. It doesn't mean it's the one and only way to play. If everyone played ABC poker then it'd be one hell of a dull game. I built my roll enough to enjoy and play how I'd like to whilst remaining solid for the most part. I really don't see the problem in that. I'd rather go up against AA with 7,8 suited or something than AQ or AK. There is a very easy way to crack the Short stackers too, so just cus you are holding a monster pre-flop doesn't mean you're gonna walk away with the chips. I think some people on here are far too righteous. Yes I KNOW that 9,7 suited is not the best hand to play, but it's not like a called a massive raise with it. Jeez. ♦

playing suited conectors against shortstacks is just wrong.....

so you'd rather be completely dominated then? with a matching card or something?

Everyone has their own styles of play I guess. I got bored with the SSS i found it so mechanical and restrictive and boring. Took any fun out of playing. Which for me, is definitely not a good thing. I'd rather adjust to the table im at with the opponents i'm up against than play by the same rules time n time again.

Here's my stupidest mistake. I think I was also tired. Just didn't see any other straight possibilities on the board. Thought I was way ahead...

no, but there's no point in playing a drawing hand against a stack that won't pay off big enough when you hit, Everytime you call a shortstack with 67s the shortstack is winning money , doesn't matter if you hit a straight flush afterwards

I agree. You must play to the person, that's how poker works. So therefore you must play a shortstack as a shortstack. Only raise or fold against them - unless there are other aggressive big stacks in the pot that you know you can get money from.. Otherwise you will lose in the long run with marginal hands

Agree that against monsters I want to be playing 78s etc

Makes me laugh when people say "You called my AK with 78" Well ues of course I did what else would I call that hand with,certainly not AQ or KQ

Against shortstack? well u know they are (a) very tight (b) likely to push on the flop and (C) dont have much cash, so its just not profitble to play against them (say VPIP 8-9) without JJ/QQ/KK (even JJ is pusing it a bit)

stupidest mistake? not following BRM.
