Suckout hand of the night
 

Ever talk yourself into calling just one more card when you know you shouldn't? Especially when it is late and you are tired?

After this hand, I knew it was time to go to bed.

I thought about raising, but Seat 1 and 8 had been slow-playing a bit shorthanded so I decided to just call.

Results:

Hero: balance $229, bet $28.5, collected $73, net +$44.5 [ Tc Td 8s 3c 5d Th 5h ] [ a full house, Tens full of fives -- Tc,Td,Th,5d,5h ]
Seat 8: balance $326.92, lost $28.5 [ Kd Qs Qc 7s 5c Qd Ts ] [ three of a kind, queens -- Kd,Qs,Qc,Qd,Ts ]

Damn, I'm good! I wonder if there's a seat open at the 20/40?

On second thought, I'd better log off before I make any more stupid decisions.

Hopefully, this kind of intermittant reinforcement will keep you in the game long enough for me to get a piece of your action.
