Pascale's Wager

Everyone makes choices based on assessments of risk and reward. I accept that every choice I make is essentially a gamble with my life. How do we learn to make good decisions?

I suck at cash games



Two separate nights at the Sandia casino, both ultimately disastrous. It doesn't help to know exactly what your leaks are if you're incapable of plugging them. Being card dead and always outdrawn doesn't help either.

I should stick to tournaments. Because at cash games my downturns aren't dips, they're bottomless pits. Now, apparently, I'm unlucky at both cards and love.

Perfect.

I've been avoiding the cash game tables meself too, fer much the same reason.

One of my collection of poker tip notes has this advice from Annie Duke: if, at any point during a cash game, you're down 30 big blinds, leave the table.

(...'course, depending on how big the limits yer playing at are, that might *still* be a chunk o'change...)
