I'm sure I am, but it is one of those seasons where I can't win. Today I flopped a full house vs. quads, lol.

I only have a brief history with this guy, but figured I was ahead on turn. He has been bluffing frequently, so I thought I would give him a chance to bluff the river. If it weren't for the spade, I would have raised.

Stop folding top pair and overpairs all the time. A lot of the stacks that get handed to these players are in hands where someone wins with 1 pair. Look at blunty's hand for instance. He had A10 on an AQ4 board and was fine getting it in on the flop. Most people would not and thus the guys bluff would have worked.

He tried. Yes this was for value. Yes he was an unknown. Do what I did and don't get rivered if you want people to hand you stacks.
