you've got FE and you're beating 55-88 A7+ KJ+ that's probably about right for an average $1 idiot.

This is a very easy push, I'm not sure why you'd consider another move here.

again you're being results orientated ~30% of the time you're going to lose this. You made a good play.

Yeah, the T6 was probably suited.. You definitely can't leave out the any two suited cards in the 1.25 flipaments. Any ace is chasing you too.

As has been said, you are probably being results orientated, however that's to be expected. As you realize what's standard, and what's not, that will start to lessen. Not everyone starts off knowing the perfect moves (or even the really obvious ones).

Most often, a person will equate a lost hand with a wrong move. Sometimes that's the case, sometimes it's not. The only thing you can ask is that you get your money in at +$EV moments. The rest will take care of itself.

If they weren't donk's.. who would give us their money?

P.S. I regard the 1.25 as basically play money tourneys. While it's true that if you can't beat a lower level, you shouldn't move up.. this might be the one exception. I'd start at the 5.50's.. assuming you are bankrolled for it (between $200-$300).

If the ten hadn't hit, you'd never have made this post. Please, don't make me move it to BBV.. stop being results oriented.

You made valid points in your other posts, well, compared to this one at least. You want him to call with T6. It's major profit for you in the long-term. As for the different results, I'm afraid that's variance, it gets us all in the same way.
