anyone ever realize their poker strategy was completely wrong mid-game
Played a small-stakes poker tourney last night, halfway through I realized I've basically been playing my usual roulette-style logic the whole time. I kept pushing all-ins on "patterns" that definitely don’t exist in poker, which had me burning through chips fast. It hit me right after I bluffed a dude who never folds and then actually watched him scoop another pot from me.
Does anyone else get stuck with tunnel vision and forget they’re not playing the table, but actual people? After the break I tried to turn things around, but my head was still so wrapped up in thinking of odds the way I do with roulette. Kinda embarrassing. What do you all do to reset your brain when you catch yourself going down the wrong track mid-game?
Had that same brain fog once jumping from live dealer blackjack to five card stud. Realized I was fixating on card patterns, not players. Only way out was taking a couple hands off to just observe bets and faces.
