There is nothing more frustrating at the poker table than running bad. You get it in with AA against an opponent’s AK only for them to miraculously make trips or flop a monster draw but manage to miss the lot despite being a big favorite to win the hand. But there can be a much bigger demon at play in these situations and if you plan to ride out the wave without busting your bankroll it is vital you are aware of it. What is this demon we speak of? Bad play, or to be more precise, the bad decisions that can creep into your game when lady luck isn’t on your side.
