| Re: Need to learn better introspective analysis... The most likely scenario I can think of is that there's no finality to the cash game. there's an easy button...a re-buy.... In tourneys, if I get knocked out, I'm bored for a loooong time...and I don't want that...so, even if I'm down to 20%, I can and will drag it out... there's not much point to that in the cash games.... It's interesting that I play much tighter starting hands in a cash game, but seem to lose much more often...I think that, perhaps, I'm not as willing to let go of the good cards as I should be.... Now, honestly, I play looser than I should in Tournies, but I'm comfortable with it, and [usually] know when to reign it in..or at least can see where I screwed up afterwards.. Except for getting tighter during a higher stakes cash game, I didn't think I played that differently...less folds to me (cause they can rebuy?), I feel like I'm always getting pushed around in cash game, etc..can only win with a monster hand... after I go busto in a cash game, I guess I'll look back and say, jeez, I only made 1 or 2 real mistakes...running into a monster (or the other day, my full house to his quads, which I read as the smaller boat or a nut flush), that kind of thing... where'd all my money go?? plus..guys will go bust, or lower than me and rebuy...instead of looking at that as an opportunity, i think [maybe] I get mental thinking I'm the short stack now....but I certainly don't recall feeling like that at the time... I think I might be rambling here....but I'm so damn confused!
