This is always changing, but @ the moment:- I give snapshot first impressions too much credit. If a guy plays 4 out of the first 10 hands, I assume he's a lagtard.
- I get into leveling wars too quickly. A guy sits down HU @ a full ring table and raises the first 3 hands. On the next hand, if he raises, I assume he doesn't have a hand and I might be willing to felt A2o if I get an ace because I have to take a stand NOW on the 4th hand.
- A double edged sword that often helps me, but sometimes hurts me, too: I put my own methodology into villain's thought process and I'll look up villains light because I wouldn't have played that range that beats me that way. Maybe I wouldn't, but would they? Oh crap, he won ... I guess HE would.
- I don't mark or look through enough hand histories and sometimes DURING sessions I'll look through one only to see my equity and many of those are ones I know I was ahead, but just want to see how ripped off I got.
- Overestimating implied odds - implied odds are theoretical guesses of how much more money you WILL win if you hit and win. The money you have to call NOW to play is REAL and is 100% lost from your stack every time you call @ that instant and even more so if you don't hit and lose and even more so than that if you hit and lose.
- I start to get agitated and tilt if I don't start winning money or a big pot within what I consider a REASONABLE time frame. There's an ebb and flow for what I consider reasonable and logical and if that goes against me, I feel a sense of entitlement that needs to be fulfilled. The longer it goes unrequited, the more agitation and tilt that sets in.
- I don't use PokerStove enough or do fold equity calculations at all.
