I have become suchg a calling station. Look at the graph below. Without calling off of betting big with 5 or 6 hands when I am clearly beat, I would be way ahead on the week.

Ahead on Turn, beat on R

First two hands are very clear river folds, calling off are big mistakes indeed (and in the second hand you definitely don't have a river valuebet, clear x/fold).

Third hand is ugly, against a nitty guy we can probably just fold river, but I don't think it's such a big mistake as the first two

Btw based on your post, mental game definitely seems a big issue of yours...

@duder1n0 Could I ask you how you would have played this hand (the second one)? I'm still at the lowest of micro's and don't conscider myself a good player (i'm working on it :f_grin:). I eighter would have X/C the turn and X/F on the river or bet the turn and river and fold to a raise?
I've been caught a few times overvalue'ing TPTK and call off to lightly?

thanks for the reply. Mental game IS problem, The biggest problem is discipline though. Reading the right book, thinking the right things, making a plan, but not really respecting it.

But I am getting better......Overall I see some progress

The problem is that you fall in love with your hands.
All of them are river folds.
In the second hand when every Qx beat us we can xf.

I don't like checking turn. Problem is we turn our hand into a bluffcatcher, when Villain is not bluffing enough. He could checkbehind a big part of his range, that can call a bet, but wouldn't bet himself, pair+straightdraws mostly, like KQ/QJ/JT, and mostly he bets the hands that beat us.

I would rather bet/fold turn, and check most rivers, definitely x/fold this one. I think betting this river is bad, we don't have a valuebet at all.

Third hand is by no means obvious (as Duder notes too). He has QJ to play this way and can rep a flush with trash. But overall, you need to respect river raises more than you do now.
