132. Results Oriented
I am classically results oriented. When I make a play that works
out, I tend to think it was better than it actually was. When I make
a play that doesn’t work out, I tend to think it was worse than it
actually was. The same goes for evaluating a session. When I win,
I think I played better than I did. When I lose, I think I played
worse than I did. For example:
Playing $20/40 limit hold’em, it’s one hour into the session.
I flop a flush draw. I hit my flush and I win a nice size pot
with about $600 in it. Hours later, I quit the game a $300
winner, a typical smallish win at those stakes. Driving home, I
feel pretty good about the session, like I was sharp and hardly
tilted. I won, and I feel like a winner.
The next day, let’s say everything happens exactly the same.
All the same opponents get all the same cards and they play
them the same way, except for one difference. In this reality, I
miss my flush. I don’t win that $600 pot early in the session.
This time I go home three hundred bucks lighter. Driving
home, my mind keeps revisiting my close decisions, burning
out on second guesses and what ifs. I lost, and I feel like a
loser.
On day one, I thought I played well. On day two, I
thought I played poorly. I wonder how often my evaluation of
my performance hinges on one long-forgotten card.
That was a look through the lens of results-orientedness, to
see how it warps the self-evaluation of a session. Let’s see what a
refracted hand looks like.
No-limit hold’em. Cash game. The blinds are $10/20.
Everyone has $6,000. I’m on the button with pocket fives.
Everyone folds to me. I open for $80. The small blind folds.
Joe is in the big blind. He calls the $60 more.
The flop comes A-A-5. I have a full house. Joe checks. I
bet $100 in a way designed to convince the universe and even
myself that I am bluffing. Joe folds.
Damn, I should have checked! I suck!
Okay. Do-over. Just like before.
I open for $80 with 55 on the button, and only Joe calls. The
flop comes A-A-5, Joe checks, and I bet $100. But this time,
Joe has AK, and he checkraises on the flop to $300. I make
it a thousand and he real quick moves all-in for six grand and
I call just as fast and we both turn over and no ace or king
comes and I bust him and…
What an awesome bet by me on the flop! I’m a genius! | f*****g

已。
即使是顶级pro包括durrrr在内，也多次因为bad run产生离去的念头。咱这样的要说输
到一定程度，回家路上还崩高兴，觉得自己play well, run bad，俺觉得也是假话。
