Again. It is insane how I seemingly go up and down with this game every fucking month. This month began like all the others and at some point I began to stress and just meltdown at the tables while playing. I started 3betting too much and generally making bad calls/bluffs in big pots. This will always crush your bottom line obviously. I can whine and tell you i run bad but the fact is there will always be spots where run bad wasnt the issue. Yes cards can crush your soul if you let them but the truth is bad beats aside I am leaking too much money in other areas. Luckily I have found a coach again and will be working to plug them in the months ahead.
Rant aside I decided to write this post to make myself accountable for my lack of proper decision making. I mean what self respecting man who claims to play poker as a means to support his family would allow himself to fail to think through his opponents hand and find a call in these spots?
This guy was 100% vpiper and donked 90%. Sweet river.

You might think the flop is gin but really there is like no reason to do anything but call. If I looked at my note I would notice that this guy has donked a PP and gave up in a similar spot thus his turn DB is weighted towards monsters. Not sure if we can fold turn but river seems super fucking easy.

Posting these is cute and all but if I post many more of these in the weeks to follow I will be without a bankroll. Hopefully you wont be seeing anymore from today on.
Lastly I recorded a session in which i generally feel I got pwned and was helpless. If anyone has any time and wants to do a video sweat please let me know.
Hope all is well
Edit for more spew:
In all honesty this might not look terrible but this guys WTSD is 30%
