Re: Not sure if I was correct?
After Villian pushed all in:
There's 1450 in the pot.
It'll cost you 1000 to call.
If he has one heart and a pair, there are six hearts that won't pair the board, so 40/46 river cards favor...

Re: Poker and Stress
I'm not a professional poker player, but my advice may be useful as an "outsider's perspective". Exercise sounds good. Also, how is your social life? Do you have some hobbies? Hobbies can give...

Re: Folding KK Preflop?
I did out some rough math:
Say 70% of the time he has aces, 5% of the time he has KK and 25% of the time he has QQ or a lower pair. If it costs 425 to call a pot of 725, you're still making a...

Re: Two shitty hands.
I think you played the first hand alright. No straight draw, no flush draw. The only thing he could have is a higher set and then you're basically going to lose all your money anyway, so why not...

Re: What to do when tilting?
Taking some time off is a good idea. When I tilt, I usually tilt by trying too hard to outplay people, betting at too many flops, playing back at loose players without a really strong hand, etc. So...
