One of my biggest failings in Hold'em is that I'll get tunnel vision, and stop looking for hands that might beat mine. I've done this in B&M casinos (and it is usually expensivee) and I did it here last night.
I called into a cheap pot (.10/.25) with Ac3s. Flop came something like
245 all clubs as I recall, or something similar to that.
So I'm sitting with:
straight.
nut flush draw.
straight flush draw.
Yee-haw. So it comes down to me and this other player both making pot-sized raises and calls. I miss all but the straight
but make a call on the river anyway, figuring to push my opponent out of the pot. Completely miss that there is now a pair on the board and lose to a boat. Oops. Complete donk play, or $8 poker lesson depending on how you look at these things.
Other than practice, any tips for not getting so caught up in my own hand?
Or is it just a clueless n00b thing that you get over?
