I was so close to open folding this on the turn. Make it more obvious please:

Okay, I guess I suddenly suck at short handed. I've been losing for about 2 months now. I pay off too much I guess, but it's hard not to at short handed where every monkey caps the flop with K high no draw. My responses to posts aren't that bad are they? I feel like I know what I'm doing, but the results aren't coming. It's probably mostly tilt.

I don't want to turn this into a political discussion, but I do think most people here would be curious to know that Leach, the Rep from IA who cosponsored the original version of the UIGEA with Goodlatte, appears to have lost his seat by a small number of votes in what was thought to be a Republican bastion. Nate tha' Great was hoping for a tighter race so he could more easily think that poker players made the difference. You think there are 500 or so internet poker players in Iowa? Regardless, while this doesn't change the situation much, revenge feels pretty good.

hell yeah. Was thinkin the same thing when I read it. Now to convince others it was due to poker players [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hmmm, anyone know what villain was thinking here?

Preflop: Wow, KJ, great hand!
Flop: He's just c-betting, I can catch my pair later.
Turn: I'll bluff him and pretend I was slowplaying my set.
River: He's not falling for my bluff. But who knows, maybe he was just bluffing all the way and it's a big pot. I'm not folding it for 1 bet.

Preflop: I have a straight!
Flop: I have a straight!
Turn: I have a straight!
River: I have a straight! But the board paired, so I'll just call now.
