I've located a leak

Mr. Flibble

I number of my larger losses have been in sessions where I've followed a fish around. I find that I my game changes completely from the norm when I'm trying to isolate 1 fish at the table. I'll start raising with KJo in ep and the likes and on the whole I overplay hands as it seems quite likely that fish will call down with any pair, and in doing so I stack myself when fish picks up a hand.

Has anyone else found that they do that? Any words of wisdom for me?

if you are playing any hand you wouldn't normally play but you want to play against the fish,make sure you have position,otherwise don't bother...
also,if he limps,raise to isolate...a lot of people focus too much on the fish and end up in trouble against other players they forgot were even in the hand

This is something I have noticed that I have done in tournies in the Fitz too. If I see a terrible player then I assume they are always playing with crap and therefore play terribly myself. It is something I am actively trying to stop doing as it defeats the purpose of the whole thing and just try and be aware that they are terrible whilst still playing as well as I can myself.

Mr. Flibble

I think I'm going to have to start just playing my normal game and ignore any possible opportunities to get into extra hands with them until I work out how to stop messing it up.
