Yea, don't run into KQ or AA next time. If you lost this hand then its just a cooler.

nh...nothing else you can do. Just one nitpicky thing though...why not just bet $32.50 on the turn and put him all-in?

[Das Budrick]

alright thanks guys... he had KQ, I was so mad bc I've been running like this for a while now, very frustrating... argh. I guess I should've just shoved turn, but maybe he's more likely to call a $21 bet than an all in and I wanted the most out of him.

200NL actually treating me well..This was my second attempt at it so far..

Too bad I leave for Damn Vacation tommorrow..

I feel you bro. This scenario happened to me 5 times today at NL25. Gotta keep reminding yourself it's all about the long term and if the donks are going to make horrific flop calls like this, you're going to get the money eventually. Easier said than done though I know.

I've been playing alot more hands lately. Aiming for 2K a day (I know it's nothing to you serious grinders but I only 4 table right now). I have no problems with focus or endurance but the hardest part is staying on an even keel. Over 2K hands, almost everything happens a couple times (stacked with aces, set over set, etc.). Can't imagine what it's like with 5 or 6K hands a day like some of you hit. Hope to find out though! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Im down 2k in June and its 2nd day of the month LOL

[TheProdigy]

Are you playing 200NL? That's nuts.
