Hi,
Well, first of all, thanks for taking the time and effort to answer my question . I appreciate it.
Yesterday, it happened again. As it always does. 170e live tournament. With blinds 300/600/50, Some fish limps EP. I see KK like in the CO, I dont think about his range, I raise like 1800 to create around a 2 SPR pot and commit with any non-ace flop. That was the idea. So, everyone folds, and we see a flop. The pot is around 5k. We see a flop AAx. He instashoves. I instacall. I like leveled myself into thinking "he cant just shove allin 2x pot with the ace, he doesnt want to scare me, and as there's two aces accounted for, there's a lot less aces in his range. And another player shoved 2x pot when he reraised the pot like 3 levels ago, in a flop 986r and I talked myself into folding TT thinking he could easily have JJ+ and I was crushed. He had AK. So "players in this table" can 2x pot shove with air. (BTW, this same player did the same some levels later with TP)
The truth is, I kinda think I thought that.
I just instacalled. It took me like 2 seconds. But my mind went somethin like that. I just didnt think that:
*he's old
*he has played tight so far, and very carefully, and doesnt seem like a tricky player
*a fish limps a lot of Ax in all positions, specially in EP.
He obviously had AT, and almost went busted.
What can I do to stop instacall in situations and remember to
Range
Equity
Maximize?
every single hand and take my time? Im so impulsive, what's stupid is that lately I realized almost inmediately of my good and bad decisions in g.bucks terms.
What can I do to stop doing this kind of instacalls and remember to think?
) find solutions to these problems.
