It is interesting to me how we as poker players so often don't learn from our mistakes. Take this example from me killing time last night.
$20, 6 player sit-n-go.
Everyone started with about 1500 chips. I am down to about 1100. I am UTG with Aces. I ALWAYS push something in with aces as I have had them cracked too many times with BS. But for some reason, i did not listen to history or my game plan and limped, hoping for a raise. Of course, with a 6 player table, that leaves only 5 behind me and it is easy for people to limp in. The SB and BB limp as well.
Flop 10-7-4 rainbow.
SB pushes in 200. I come over the top All-In. He shows 7-4 for 2 pair. I bust out.
Pretty much any bet I would have made before the flop would have gotten this guy out. It is the usual, winning a small pot is better than losing a big one.
Oy. After the last few weeks, where I have been running pretty strong and making 4 figures in 2 weeks, these small little losses, mainly because of my boneheaded playing, is really annoying to me.
-$20 (plus $2 buy in)
