Message: [QUOTE="Stevepdx, post: 2299812, member: 112472"] The harm in "pulling back a little" is that you're sacrificing EV, provided you're a winning player, because for whatever reason you can get tilted due to being card dead. I can't imagine complaining about my distribution of hole cards. You can still bet the button with ATC and cbet good flops. Your cards don't matter there. As far as a cure for tilting due to "card deadness", players should read up on things like the gambler's fallacy as well as variance. All players get the same distribution of random cards. The guys who win aren't always the ones who get the best cards. You need to extract value even when you're "card dead". You're going to get rags on most hands you get, and you're going to miss most of the flops you play. [/QUOTE]
