Ya I have trouble with projecting as well, and sometimes it leads to me leveling myself up or down which is really frustrating. I played a hand in the home game last night where I 3bet shoved the turn with a hand that probably should have called the XR IP instead, and I did it because it was a spot where I “wanted” to be “able” to shove more semibluffs so I shoved with a value hand to “strengthen my shoving range”. But when I thought about it afterwards that particular hand in that particular spot benefits so much from calling IP and getting the chips in on the river that I was struggling with it in retrospect. I’ll put a new post up today with that hand but I often feel this tension between playing THIS hand against THIS foe vs how I should play in the long term. I know that’s a common tension that many of us deal with – in these home games in particular it’s an interesting situation because we are actually getting a lot of hands on each other so there is more of an incentive to show down balanced ranges. Another great discussion folks!
