Truth bombing the bad reg

I was playing last night –

A guy I hadn’t played with before was at the table. The hands he was playing, and the bet sizings he was choosing would indicate that he’s done some studying of the game.

But the first time he had to bring out money to buy some more chips though?

He looked a little more flustered than most.

Then he won some back and seemed alright.

Then lost it back again.

His face was a little red and he was looking at his phone a whole lot.

Just the usual rollercoaster most of us are used it.

All of a sudden, someone raised, a reg 3bet, this guy 4bet out of the big blind, the reg 5bet jammed 250 big blinds, and this guy tanked for a couple minutes and called. The board ran out ten high, the reg showed AK, and this guy looked annoyed, mucked, and walked out the door.

What happened?

He won some hands, he lost some hands, and he was feeling a lot of stuff I’m assuming he didn’t like.

Then he cold 4bet bluffed.

Then he said screw it, and put the rest of it in anyway when he got 5bet.

All that studying about what ranges to play, and what bet sizings to use, to then just dust it all off when he had some feelings.

Apparently when he felt a bunch of stuff he didn’t like, that was enough of a reason to abandon everything he learned about how to play well, and gamble a full buy-in with like 30% equity.

That’s pretty much it.

When you dumb it down to the most basic thing, it looks pretty funny.

Stuff happened, he felt something in the present, and now he’s off the rails.

It’s always so clear and funny when you’re the one on the outside.

When you’re the one on the inside? We tend to lose the fun.

But it doesn’t have to be like that.

If you want to learn how to have fun and enjoy yourself no matter what’s happening on the inside, so that you don’t abandon everything you know about the game in a split-second, hit me up here.

You’ll probably end up making a lot more money.
