I made a huge mistake last night in a local tournament. I hit a set of 10s on the flop and while I bet it BIG pre-flop one person called me. That scared me a bit, so I didn't bet it after the turn. I bet it again after the river and he called me again. He ended up rivering out a small straight all because I didn't bet the turn.
What was going on in my mind? The day before at a different tournament I had hit a set of K on the flop. I knew watching the board all the way through that I had the best hand. I was in late position and bet it slow (from pre-flop) to keep some others in the pot (I needed to build my stack as I went into the tournament short stacked). Each round I would bet a little more and in the end the one person remaining re-raised me. I went all-in and he called and I took the hand. My set of Kings over his set of 10s.
So as I sat there yesterday that was going through my mind. A king had hit on the flop so after the guy called me, I had the worry in my head of what if this is a repeat of that hand from the day before.
Lesson Learned: Let yesterday's hand go and play today's hand. If you've got a hand bet it.

Agreed.
Also, if you play passively worrying about set over set you are going to lose a lot of money/chips in the long run.

Every hand is a new probability event.
Try not to outguess yourself.
Unless you are playing online...then watch the patterns as they develop or they will bite hard.

Why can I not seem to learn from this mistake and stop doing it? At least 3 times in the last week I've had this same thing happen. I bet big pre-flop, someone calls me and it totally messes with me because I have no idea what they have. When this happens, I have 2 overs usually, and I'm worried that maybe they have a pocket pair and are just slow playing. So I don't bet it after the turn and just check it to the river and they river out on me.
I've got to stop letting this happen!

math and statistics never fail!!!
one hand is completely independent from another hand!!! if you don't bet the sets it's -EV!!!

Math/Statistics are absolutely my weakness in this game... and math is a weakness of mine anyway. I'm trying to improve my ability to look at the board and figure out my odds.
