The WOW Factor

WOW !

That's what I have been thinking a lot lately after looking at my online play in cash and tournaments.

What this means is "why, oh why !"

Sometimes it is "why does he have to hit his flush" or "why does my Ace-King never hit". But mainly I am kicking myself for various forms of self-destruct. In tournaments, this usually comes from failing to be tight enough in the early and mid stages.

In cash, I often seem to be able to make good starts, but then it seems I throw this away far too regularly and my win turns into a loss. Sometimes, this will just be session variance of course but it has more to do with session discipline, really.

WOW occurs in live play as well, obviously, but I do find it is more of a problem online for me - I suspect it is related to the fast pace of internet poker.
