Commentary:
I tried to play a bit more conservatively this morning.
Most notably; if I raised pre-flop in position with 1 caller, and the flop came J27, and the caller frontbet it, I'd usually re-raise him a good 75% of the time I miss the flop.
I started this session saying to myself that for every situation I got in like the one above, I would fold. This is because I lost ~$18 yesterday by re-raising people in this spot only to have them flatcall/push.
Anyhow, I could definitely see the difference in my stats this morning - my TAF (Total Aggression Factor) was down 2+ points from my average. Another thing I notice is that I lost A LOT of small pots where I cbet after missing the flop, then just completely shut down. I guess the key is to find a happy-medium between throwing my manmeat around, and learning some meekness.
One thing I really don't want to do is start to question my play. I need to continue having confidence in my decision-making abilities. I think that by binding to this rule, I really hindered myself.
