I can't say enough about how much I got [censored] today. At one point I had made back everything I had lost for just long enough to breathe a sigh of relief before getting [censored] again. Whatever you guys don't care I play for 25 dollars at a time. Anyhoo, sorting through the devastation, I've been trying to find hands that I thought were coolers but maybe were not, or at least were not so bad that I couldn't have minimized my losses. I found this one. I should have checked the turn right? Then called or value bet a non spade river? Villain was 30/3 after a small sample.
