Lesson of The Day: Pay Attention

One of the most common mistakes of multi-tablers is robotisism. Click click click, shove shove shove, etc etc etc. One thing I pride myself in (the only thing rofl) is that I consistently think while I play and interact with the player types around me. When this hand came up, I was in utter shock, then happy at the flop, then miserable on the turn.

WHY DID YOU CALL YOU IDIOT!??!?!?!

It wasn't a misclick. It was a genuine call. The problem was in the hand prior to this one. In fact, I haven't even looked at the HH yet, but I plan on finding it once I type out the next few sentences. I shoved K8o at bb800 for like 6kish or something and he called K3, WOOT! He missed his 3 and boom I have 12.5kish chips. So when I called this 82o, I thought I was calling like 200ish more chips. Here is the hand...

Looking at it again it takes me a couple seconds to realize we split. So, moral of the story, pay attention to everything. Mostly so you don't call 82o for even stacks like me.
