HighwayStar 8 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I hate committing 600/2000 = 30% of my stack preflop without getting it all in. If you are flat called the pot will be bigger than your stack. Just shove it preflop. His min reraise is suspicious, I probably shove it as played though.I take it he had AJ here?Just ride out the bad luck, I've been through periods recently where I seem to lose every race, every 4:1, every 70:30 (although you always think it's worse than it is)What goes around comes around. Take a break for a couple of days, come back and refocus and all will be fine. Link to post Share on other sites

jmbreslin 0 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Agreed. Sounds like you got a little gun-shy as a result of your bad run. You absolutely have to push there. Link to post Share on other sites
MovingIn 0 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Open shove, and running bad happens to everyone. Just keep your head on straight and keep making the right plays. Regression to the mean will happen. Link to post Share on other sites
