Set your own terms

Played a tournament tonight.

Finished 47th of 279.

Last hand called off 2nd best hand for all of my chips. Turned out I was accepting the terms of what was a good deal for villain but not for me. I knew it was 2nd best hand prior to making decision.

In PLO, this is unacceptable to call off with 2nd best hands for all of the chips. I failed to recognize the pot odds and percentage I need to make it a profitable call. I risked my tournament life for a terrible position.

If it was for 10% of my chips, reasonable. But all chips left is a fatal mistake.

I have done this before, over and over again. I don’t know why I keep doing it.

I need to fix this leak if I were to be professional at this game.
