AFKSLD")£"£)!_"!"{AD¬!¬PLAYED 13 GAMES TODAY. LOST 8 (not end of the world but almost all losses at 30 level and wins at 20 level makes a pretty big deficit)Here are the reasons i lost 7 of them, the 8th i misplayed and accept as a mistake  )
pair+fd < 2 pair 2 pair < fd flush < flush first hand TP < Openender Trips Akicker < trips 4kicker (same fish as above) Trips < overpair (Joined a fucking limit hold'em sng by accident and the guy ran hotter than the sun) I know that I get it in bad in some of the hands, and you can't really blame people for like not folding flushdraws and straightdraws, but its just setups...I'm probably running above EV because of so many setups thanks for letting me vent |

I guess I'm just not good enough at folding. | ||

That's pretty sick. I'm not big into motivational stuff but I read this the other day when I was running really bad and liked the outlook

Not such a terrible beat in that he had 2 overs and a gutshot on you on the flop. More terrible when you consider that there is a very real chance one of his overs is dead (if your range includes hands like AJ, KJ, AT, KT etc). Either way, I feel your pain |

The two pair 7s and 8s one isn't really that bad. When you play it through what can he actually be shoving on the turn that you beat or crush? It looks like two pair + and you have a lower two pair. Dunno about the other guys on here but I probably find a fold.
J3 I probs barrell the turn anyway and I could even find a fold there too, if he has a K or anything he just flats and you don't beat any other trip jacks at all. Maybe I'd be being too nitty idk, but other than the AA hand there's defo some folds out there. |

No I think you are right, but when you fold the top of your range for like 5 hours straight, trip jacks and 2 pair start to look real damn good. Besides its only the $20 level against complete fish, they can have anything...and I've seen it...just not today. Your argument is very valid though, If i really think about it...every time I make a call that I dont like I must be beat like 95% of the time...even though its disgusting to go thru all these setups |

Yeah the time I spent at the 20s on every site i've played on has shown that they're nothing spectacular so you do have a point.
I honestly don't think i've ever made a call where I've not been 100% and been good. Its hard to fold better hands but sometimes it just don't feel right. |

I'll pass on the best advice I've been given about this: go listen to Tommy Angelo. If you're like me, when you begin listening to him, it will make you want to punch someone in the neck, but just stick with it for a full episode and then decide. Hope you get back to running hot asap. Take care.

Haha, yeah I listened a bit today...feels okay

I've actually incorporated it into my (poker) life. I listen to it (almost) every day. It just really soothes me.

Wow thats major tilt, I reg for some sng and wait for action for like 50 minutes but forgot i signed up, so when I realize it I have like 600 chips left and lose with AJ < KQ
then I get him to rematch and he hits an openender against my TP...bleh argh |
