So...

I make a PSB on the [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] turn and villain pushes.
I call.

Villain flips A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

villain is no longer on my list of "good players I ought to avoid"

I was so wound up after losing this hand I had to quit playing for a few hours.

It wasn't the hand that particularly upset me it was the conversation afterwards...

Me: that was a bad call on the flop
V : If you had raised the flop anymore I would have laid it down.
Me: but a bigger raise would have overbet the pot..
Me: stupidly I thought that you weren't stupid enough to draw to a flush facing a flop bet that big.
V: It's hands like this where most of your profit comes from
V: Cash games are very often misunderstood.

Me: gets up and leaves table before the urge to throw my monitor out of the window gets the better of me....

Then later I did some math and worked out that a) I should have made a full PSB on this flop - I thought I had - but I hadn't - my bad.

b) If we replay this hand 4 times and assume that:

i) I am going to donate my whole stack to a flush here
ii) I am making a PSB on the turn regardless of what falls and despite being stupid enough to make a bad flop call villain will fold the hand if no [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] falls on the turn.

then in the long run I make on average ~$4 per hand so villains call is -EV. I will take what crumbs of comfort I can from knowing that at least my account at the Sklansky bank has just grown a little.

Anyone for chocolate biscuits?
Howabout a game of "pin the tail on the villain?"
