[Antinome]

In these spots I always feel like such a total moron when I'm right on the flop and turn, but wrong on the river, that it tilts me into next week and I can't play poker. Nothing else tilts me like that. Straight flush on the river beats my boat? whatever. set over set? Standard. I push a 15 out combo draw, you call with overcards and hit. I love it. But calling down a maniac with a pair of deuces and having him hit a 3 on the river- Excuse me, I'll be vomiting in the girl's bathroom, trying to cut off my e-penis with a spork.

And if I win, I feel like I'm such a genius I'm apt to go on to get myself involved in other hands situations in which genius play is required.

Someday I'll be able to call all the way down and laugh when I see he sucked out, or celebrate modestly when I was right,
But for now I fold flop. (most of the time)
