Morning all,Limit related:I've been suspecting that my aggression level online and live are horses of a different color.OL I'm fearless. There be no monsters over thar!When playing live, I sometimes find myself starting to slide back into a tight weak mentality. Most of the time I am able to shake it.The "fear factor" becomes more prononunced when I'm involved in a large 3 or more way pot.Last night was a classic example.I'm sitting at a very loose table playing 3/6 limit. Most of the players are obviously more comfortable at 2/4 but the wait list is 40 deep.I'm in the BB with T7o. We take the flop 5 ways.The flop comes 10 4 4 rainbow.I decided to lead on a semi-bluff primarily but hey, TWP crappy kicker isn't a horrible hand against this table.I get a caller and a raise from the button. The button player is really loose pF and has been bluffing up a storm all night. The caller's hands have been shaking ever since he sat down and has played some dreadful cards OOP.I call the raise with the idea in the back of my mind to CR the turn. The initial caller stays in.Turn card is another 10, Kaching!Screw the CR! I bet, one call and another raise from the button. Hmmm.One of my opponents is probably holding the other T. Or one of them is playing A4, K4 or an overpair (yeah they would think it was good against a dble paired board)or heaven forbid, pp4.I reraise and both folks call.(betting is not capped, cap is 5 bets at this BM) Okay, either someone is milking pp4 (I don't think either one is capable of restraining themself) or I'm facing A4, K4 or TxThe river is a 7. Yeeha right?Final board - 10, 4, 4, 10, 7I bet, my silent opponent in the middle decides to raise AI to $12, the button reraised and it comes to me.I know I have the first player beat or at worst a split pot, no question. (He's got that worried praying to the poker gods, "I've a terrific hand, please let this be good" look about him) I'm almost certain that I've beaten the button. He hesitated before reraising. Reached for his chips, drew his hand away, then went back. I freeze up.THEY COULD HAVE PP4. I COULD LOSE. HOLY CRAP!(Yeah I forgot about a two way chopped pot)I call. Sigh! OL I try and cap the mother. Live, well, do you see my point? Any chance this is a residual effect from a month old run of cold cards when playing live?Post-tilt syndrome?Or am I beating myself up/splitting hairs over making a safe rather than aggressive play?BTW, I dragged the pot and was spot on with my reads, Opponent #1 was playing T9o, Button was A4o.
