Re: Not the beat, but the chatter....
Hi All,
(a) Regarding the limp/call with 87o, if you want to think that's tilt, that's fine. I don't. If I hadn't hit for two pair or better on the flop, it would've cost me only his open-raise, which bothers me not a whit on deep money. Once I did hit for two pair, I got all of his money in when I was way ahead, and he caught an 8-outer. Oh well. I was playing for implied odds, and I'll take the risks that come with that.
(2) For those who say I should've raised with 87o from MP, no thank you. It was a passive table, by and large, and I was pretty sure I could get in for the limp. I didn't want just the blinds; I wanted to hit a hand vs. a raiser for a big pot. I got exactly what I wanted, and got outdrawn at the river. Again, oh well.
(3) To scrub, who implied this might be a significant tilt issue for me because I want people to respect my play, yes, you're right. That's what my original post was about ... I had found a significant tilt issue that I need to avoid in the future.
