Avoid Adjustment Tilt

Well-said!!!

Another good article!! This actually brings up a question I’ve had for some time:

What set of circumstances do you need to check-raise all-in (on the flop or on the river)?
Obviously the right kind of opponent – someone who bluffs or folds if he’s bet into, not a calling station or deep-stacked maniac who doesn’t care or is drunk.

But which stack sizes make it mathematically correct to check-raise all-in (given various holdings)? Thanks for any thoughts on this or links to articles where this is discussed!

Nicely done!

I hadn’t thought about this before and it certainly explains a player I played against this week.

He ran over the table, and I found myself wanting to get back at him “to teach him a lesson.”

Luckily for me, I knew that I wasn’t right so I got up and didn’t come back for awhile.

It also happened when my aces were cracked against someone holding bottom two pair after the flop. I thought about that hand, that player, that situation for hours afterward. But I didn’t get up. It was fortunate that I didn’t have a playable hand for a long while after and I was tired so I stopped.

Another shade of tilt…pretty nasty one at that.

Thanks!

Also, focusing too much on one player, trying too hard to trap them, opens you up to get outplayed by others. Used to happen to me more than once, a couple of years ago. Today I have learned to handle it though.

Two variations of a question Ed.

If you were her, playing against yourself, how should she have played it

1) as is, and
2) if you had continued to show during the past hours that “bullying” was the style you were using?

You probably wouldn’t have been limping the AJ to begin with, but is AJ on a KJ6 board a bluff catching hand when a “bully” in late position bets? Even if it is, check/calling down with middle pair seems a good way of spewing chips.
