either way he showed up with 1010 which was really weird since i would expect him to bet that on the flop or raise me at least. also i didnt put him for a guy who thinks of ranges and i might be right just not this hand.
thnx.
Oh wow, thats spooky because I just posted his hand being 10-10. I don't want to be results oriented but your play in a vacuum is fine, but
in a 3/5 live game players struggle with hand reading and folding 'good hands'
Youve lost a decent chunk of change, i would take a small break and cool down. What I do when I have a bad run or lose a large ammount is play online and give myself small goals.
If you can beat 10nl online you can be 500nl live, put $250 on fulltilt and try to beat the game for 20 buyins, this will allow you get your poker itch scratched without tilting off another $500-$800. Yeah you're not making big money, but think of it like practice.
Set a goal - Don't go to the casino untill you beat 10nl for 15-20buyins. If you can't beat 10nl, thats when inflated egos deflate and you humble yourself into being a student of the game again.
I've been there my friend
