Re: That Sinking Feeling in the Pit of Your Stomach
You had a great hand, but not the nuts. The only hand I could see beating you was TT. It is a personal decision how far you want to go with raises if you don't have the absolute nuts. In that situation, I'll generally call after about 4 bets and call it down from there, as several others said.
When this kind of raising war breaks out, it's a good idea to just stop for a minute and calculate what's the nuts and where you stand relative to the nuts.
Tough one to lose, but next time you'll probably approach it better.
