Justification....
so as i was finishing off the monster burrito and starting in on the chips and queso, and taking a sip of the old sugar laden cola , good old shawn starting talking about justifying.
justifying a call in your own head for whatever reason.
you're guilty of it .
I am guilty of it.
its human nature to want to feel good/right about what you did.
I think that the problem with that justification is that we dont learn anything from the hand in which we should have lost. thus increasing our chances of making the same mistake the next time ... and if odds hold up we should be on the losing end of it.
"It's my favorite hand"
"Pot Odds" (when you dont even know what pot odds are)
"I thought i was ahead" (when there is very little chance that you are)
"I thought he was bluffing" (when you dont have anything either)
"I am thin he is a fat loser" (ok i just threw that one in for fun)
"I'm shortstacked" (as you sit there with a m of 30, to bad you dont know what m is)
there was a saying that i am sure many football coaches have said to their players... "The Frost is on the Pumkin"
wait no that was just our my coach... how bout "Excuses are like assholes we all have them and they all stink".
justifications are like assholes we all have them and they all stink.
maybe next time you or i suck out on someone and we start to throw a justification up in the air to try and retain what little respect we have at the table, we need to stop and think "man i am a lucky sob" followed up by "i need to try and avoid that trap/mistake/play the next time".... but that will never happen cause we are all perfect....
perfect little houses all in a row, perfect little houses all selling blow...
perfect little houses all in a row, perfect little houses all will go....
the house you built is made of tissue paper, and its getting ready to rain....
