Leaks Creeping In

Confidence is a good thing. Playing poker without it is pretty difficult. But where does confidence end and downright stupid arrogance begin? It begins with flatting every 3bet OOP, calling down 7 streets on a 26 PSR, and thinking things like this are going to work:

Actually, I take that back, there are worse hands than the above and I don't actually hate it. THIS is arrogance.

Thus, I dumped $2.5k in yesterday's session. I'm OK though, I hate losing when I can't work out why I lost. When it's blindly obvious why I lost, I'm pretty cool about it.

Those hands made my eyes bleed. As for AA, I can't think of a single reason not to 3bet bingus, he will spaz out so much. As played id jam river it's w/e.

Meh the AA is just one of those spots, no recent history, 3betting from the BB VS utg, I'd rather have 64s to 3bet it. I feel like the turn flat is him flatting to bluff river, who knows.
