ive noticed a disturbing trend im my play over the last month. ill usually start out a session tight aggressive and be up half a buyin. then ill (get bored, impatient, overconfident?) loosen up and play laggy. which inevitably causes me to lose what i was ahead. which causes me to experience tilt. which concludes with me either booking a big loss, or managing to come back to even. im not sure whats wrong lately, but i wanted to post this hand to shame myself into playing better. this hand obviously is taken from the tilt phase of my session last night. im still shocked when i review it (i did that!?). a person simply cant afford to have leaks this large in their game:

lol. i dont actually mind the turn play, but the rest of the hand is garbage.

semi-bluffing/ defensive bet on the turn was probably close to correct 25 into 60$ pot with inside straight-flush draw (especially so if the king is a scare card), but the truth is that i was just running around trying to put bad beats on people. silly, and i know better.

 this hand is not that bad...

Yeah, I've seen worse.

A pair might be good if you hit, plus you have BDFD, and we're sure a six is good.

The turn play is smackin' good, especially if it gets a fold.

I don't know, I might even raise that flop...would have gotten me into trouble this time, though.

 Your opponent usually hates that flop after a 5xbb raise preflop at this level, especially facing a UTG limper if he thinks youre a decent player. I would definitely try to make a play here if he is not a calling station.

i was pretty shocked he called the hundred on the end. what could he beat? nothing. he made me make a clever plan not to bluff him, ever.

I actually think your turn play is real good and is going to generate a lot of folds against tight-wads... but problem is, when tilting, you can't tell/remember who is the tight-wad / laggy dont you dare bluff me im married to my overpair bluffer
Dealer: bencathers has two pair, Aces and Deuces
Dealer: Tbags has two pair, Kings and Jacks
Dealer: Tbags finished the tournament in 256th place
Tbags [observer]: another scumbag gets there on this site lol
