How easy to get overconfident
So new to poker and have been crushing it in the micros.... folow Blackrain79's micro strategy
feeling invincible playing against the fish and winning then after 4 hours today i get AKclubs in but and raise ... fish in Sb calls and flop comes 729 rainbow...chks and i Cb usually to a call so not too worried at this - turn is 5h ...fish chks again and i bet steal as this is where they usually fold and had been for the last hour since joining the table.....i get reraised all in.
inside me screams hit fold - outside I hit call ....why I know im beat, I have nothing and know they have a monster even calling set as soon as I called....but my ego just wouldnt let it go,,,arrrrggh.
Not tilted about the hit but at myself for letting my ego get ahead of my reason.big big lesson learnt 4 hours of play and half my stack gone in one click.
I suppose I can look at it as paying for learning a valuable lesson.....be confident yes ... invincible not.
Thanks for letting me get it of my chest and by the way the river was the fourth 9!!!!!!
