If the villain is randomizing his 4b cold flat calls and balanced otherwise, then you will not win back that McBurger menu money.

Villain had suited connected cards so he has a chance to make a straight and a flush. He was favorite at the start of the hand.

Don't need to. Common sense.

My cousin’s girlfriend’s mother took Equilab to lose weight before her lesbian wedding and died and now the wedding has been called off and turned into a funeral and gifts must be returned.

Equilab is bad news and def not FDA approved. Also, we don’t support performance-enhancing drugs or other forms of cheating ITF.

My cousin’s girlfriend’s mother was not a mod. At least not at the time of her death.

Perhaps that could have saved her. #RIP #BanEquilab

I see this as 65/35 not anything else. He could have hit a 5 or 6 and you could have whiffed. I find it useful to imagine the board came out backwards when I am all-in pre-flop. I learned from years of playing not to attach myself any outcome. Even 80/20s AA vs underpair - you still lose 1 in 5 or 20% of the time.

This is what is great about Poker, it levels the playing field and squashes entitlement and can be used as a tool to learn emotional reaction control and ability to not attach oneself ot an outcome.

Sometimes it just comes down to the fact that villain is shrugcalling with any two because it's penny* poker.

*this scales with all stakes, of course
