Vince,


Excellent post !!! I experience a similar situation during the past Labor Day weekend. I sat at the 5-10 Hold Em table at the Taj in AC and I lost $300 in under 4 hours.

I played in very soft loose games and I still managed to have a lose. My initial instinct was to quit the game for good. I had aces cracked flopped tripps a few times and still I was outdrawn.

I even changed tables but to my dismay the tables were all loose and soft. I consider myself a tight aggressive player, and I had a hard time making the adjustment to a loose game.

I called a very good friend of mine who I consider a very sold poker player. He talked me through it and explained basically the same thing Vince did in this post.

Things happen. Luckily I was playing with money I can afford to lose.

Vince, as always excellent insight.

I also wonder if anyone ever has had an evening where you had aces or kings or queens cracked by a ragged flop.

Thanks
