Last night, the slump continued apace. I'm forced to admit that I've been making some very bad decisions here and there. You don't have to make bad decisions very often in order for them to be able to destroy you. One of the worst kinds of bad decision you can make is to spend bad money on the river. Here's what I mean by this: if you've made it to the river and have a good hand, but the community cards support a better hand, spending any more money is just plain bad. You must not bet in this situation, and if an opponent does, you must not call. Here are three classic bad river money scenarios:
1. you have two pair, or three of a kind, and the community cards support a straight
2. you have a straight, and the community cards support a flush
3. you have a flush, and the community cards support a full house
Last night, it was scenario 3 which took me to the felt for the second (and final) time.
During current Hold'em session you were dealt 76 hands and saw flop:
- 8 out of 8 times while in big blind (100%)
- 7 out of 11 times while in small blind (63%)
- 26 out of 57 times in other positions (45%)
- a total of 41 out of 76 (53%)
Pots won at showdown - 3 of 9 (33%)
Pots won without showdown - 5
