At least there is some substance to your post. All these others who say move this thread or line check this line check that are worthless posts.
I think a lot of people, not just myself, overestimate their poker playing abilities.
Anyway, what is there to feel sick about?
I raised preflop with A6. How can that even be critiqued at all?
2 players simply limped in. I could be raising to isolate. Raising to get more money in the pot. Raising for a variety of reasons. The preflop play has nothing to do with anything.
Flop comes down, A64 Rainbow.
I bet out and get two calls.
What could opponents actually have? 66 is highly unlikey because I have a 6. So is 44. And so is AA. There is absolutely zero threat on the flop.
I bet out and get two calls. Clearly I would be called here with a lot worse hands. As was shown. AJ, AK, AQ, AT, and maybe even some straight draws.
Turn comes 9h making a complete rainbow. No straight draws come in. I bet again, get one caller, who again can be calling with Ace anything and somebody might possibly still be chasing draw. I'll still be ahead here 90% of the time.
River is 5s. Didn't complete any open ended straight. Player that just sat down jams. So I have no read on him. And the other player just calls. So I'm pretty sure I have them both beat.
I'm confused on your logic as to how this hand makes you sick instead of turns you on?
