Spew

Also known as: Spewy, Spewing

Bleeding chips through over-aggressive or over-loose -EV actions. "That line was spewy."

Spew is bleeding chips through a pattern of over-aggressive or over-loose -EV actions — bluffing where there's no fold equity, calling too wide, barreling into stations, value-betting too thin. The actions look active and "aggressive," but each one quietly loses money.

The adjective is "spewy": a spewy line, a spewy turn barrel. It's the leak that disguises itself as aggression, which is why it's so common in players who learned that "aggression wins" but not when. The contrast is controlled aggression — a TAG or balanced LAG applies pressure in +EV spots and shuts down when the spot is bad.

Spew vs punt: a punt is one big, decisive blunder (often the whole stack at once); spew is the slow, cumulative bleed of many smaller bad bets. Both are frequently powered by tilt — frustration loosening your standards street by street. Plug spew by asking, every bet, who folds and who calls? If the answer is "nobody good folds," you're spewing.
