Mine wasn’t a bad beat.

It was playing when I wasn’t mentally sharp.

Lazy folds. Forced bluffs. Calling just to “see it.”

It didn’t happen in one big pot — it leaked away slowly over time.

Curious what mistakes cost you the most.

Yours is good, relatable. Mine would be around it, but for tilt. I learned to lay off tilts, but it took me some tough tilts to learn.
