Biondino kinda found my point, I seem to be quite like him. I know everyone makes mistakes but I seem to make them against my better knowledge. Oh well. Maybe that's the only way to make them...

Sure it's mistake to not bet the flop but your opponent is making a bigger mistake. It's about your opponents mistakes and the advantage you take when they make bigger mistakes. If you need me to get a more detailed answer and quote Sklansky himself, I will but hopefully you get the idea.
I'm glad you brought this up. I've read the book but I'm gonna review the section tomorrow at work.

I started the thread because of a frustrating session where I won quite well but would have won much more if I hadn't made a bunch of obvious (to myself) mistakes. I'm more calm now.
