Re: A real suggestion
Tell yourself that if you are a 90% favorite you will lose 10% of the time. Beats happen. You are never entitled to win. You never have a winning hand until all the cards are dealt or until your opponent folds.
Let me give you an example of a hand I played last night at 1/2 NL. Hero is BB with AQo. Lets just say everyone has $200.
UTG raises to $7, 3 folds, button calls, SB folds, Hero calls.
Flop ($22): KhTxJx
Hero bets $15 (with the absolute effing nuts), UTG calls, Button folds.
Turn ($52): KhTxJx(3h)
Hero checks, UTG bets $25, Hero raises to $100, UTG calls.
River ($252): KhTxJx(3h)(8h).
Hero bets $78 all-in, UTG calls.
Hero shows AQo for A high str8; UTG shows Qh6h for flush.
ugh. rather than get pissed, I thank Party Poker for bringing players like this in, and I hope to play this guy or another guy like him again soon.
