So I was playing at my local casino game. I talk a lot about crushing this game daily and nightly.
The session started up and down. I got lucky by making a better fullhouse a8>a10 on aa686 board. Got max value.
Then someone 2-outed me on the flop.
My overall mood was good. I was ready to crush these guys.
My overall mood for this session was good. That's why it's very important to keep your mental game up in poker.
Then, this hand began. There was a lot of history between us 3 in the pot. We are regulars at this game. The first player (V1) was a very tilty player. I have seen him blown 10 BIs multiple times this week. First time I saw him, he took some of my money and I was so pissed. In fact, I wrote about it here:

Villain 2 was very lucky fish. He was so lucky he won $1600 in a 2-20 spread game 2 nights ago. So he's coming back for more. He's the type of player I dislike: fish who get lucky and they think they're good. He talks a lot of **** during hands. He is stubborn, will call with 2nd pair, but will fold to a lot of heat. Play any hands just because he wants to bust you. Just weak fish in general.
Hero's table image: good player, I've been reading people's hands before they turn them over, somewhat tight, aggressive, mix my play (bet max cbet or check strong hands on flop). But I had suffered several bad beats before this hand.
Hero ($120)

($39)
Villain 2 (SB) bets: $13
My turn. I'm thinking LOL. Same bet size most likely means weakness. It's fish move. It's on every book. I take my time. I act like I got a big hand, I look to my left to see who's in the hand, and Villain 2 got agitated, he said, just the 3 of us man. And boom, I know he is weak.
I say, raise: $33
Villain 1 folds, villain 2 calls the extra $20
Turn was a 7
Pot ($105)
Villain 2 checks, Hero bets max $20
He thought for 10-20 seconds, he said ok I fold to you and showed J

I flipped over my cards and said that was my one move for tonight, no more.
And he said Goddamnit. Good hand, good play (stuttered)
And he went on losing the rest of his chips and went home empty handed.
LOL.
