Default Re: Results in White

Glad you came out ahead. I sometimes find myself in similar situations when I find a couple of known super-fish at my table. I'm salivating at the thought of taking their money and it makes me impatient, so I play stupidly - sometimes adding to their bankrolls (or to those of the sharks who have joined the feeding frenzy). It just KILLS me when I feel like I've out-stupided such a fish. Then I get even more determined to win it back, plus whatever additional amount was "rightfully" mine since they are, of course, super-fish. And so on, and so on... The trick, which I'm sure you know, is to be patient knowing that when you inevitably get your good hands you can count on those fish to be there to pay you off. Since I've started taking this to heart, my results are much better. I still loosen up a little against this type of player, but I just make myself think about it pretty hard first.
