Classic example of a spewfest where the opponents who are beat by Kx for the love of donkeys, are getting capped by me, who if they had watched the previous 25 hands where I played twice and won both before in showdowns.
This isn't a brag or anything, all I am suggesting is start looking at why others are playing the pot before you go like this in the hand.
Falling in love with pocket pairs that are clearly beat except by the greatest morons ever to play poker is likely an extremely expensive date.
