Re: Learning a lesson in humility

So what are your stories of humility? How did you learn these lessons as you were learning the game?

Once in a live limit game, I stopped reraising the stone cold mortal un-choppable nuts at six bets. My opponent was reraising me on the river with such confidence, I decided I simply must not be reading the board correctly and my nut flush was beat by a straight flush I just couldn't see. So, I called, took down the pot, and drew some funny looks from the guy to my right and a couple railbirds standing behind me.
It's wasn't exactly a humiliating experience. But, it did teach me a very important lesson about the value of intimidation at the poker table.
