Re: why do i do this? How do I stop?

Well he limped preflop so I don't put him on a big pair or big ace, then he checks flop but reraises the turn on a baby club, hmm smaller set protecting or maybe two pair, finally he reraises on river but not enough that I'm thinking bluff-more like value bet with nuts.
Sure maybe fear played some role in it-but I think logically its either a smaller set, two pair or str8 and with the possible hands out there I'm not thinking two pair plays this way.
I guess your advising pushing all in on flop or turn which would have lost my whole stack but your saying long run I'm more likely ahead so it's a plus EV play?
I appreciate your advice just trying to clarify and you still haven't addressed the question of why "we" sometimes call/push "knowing" we're beat.
sooo...what could it be?

Seems like you might be too results oriented (in the short term) and perhaps making too many "great" lay-downs just "knowing" that you're beat. These could be leaks in your game that you should watch out for.
There are many better players than I that have phrased more eloquently the thoughts in my above post. Continue reading these boards as I have. I think it's really helped my game. Read those digests too!
