Re: why do i do this? How do I stop?
Hand #1 I try to get as much of my stack in on the flop as possible. I pot it, and push to his raise. I lose my stack right with you and have no problem with it. I'm not so good at reads that I can divine the flopped straight, so I'll gladly take that chance for all the other times that either (a) he has TPTK, 2-pair or a lower set, or (b) I boat up by the river.
Hand #2 is an EASY fold preflop to the raise. Given the preflop call, it's now a raised pot so you're playing for your stack. You flop top two and are unfortunate enough to be OOP vs. a flopped set, so you lose a bundle. OK, I would have too, except I would have folded preflop.
