I\'m surprised at how quickly I got over...
feeling embarrassed anout bluff-betting every street in position against a loose-passive who kept calling and calling and then rivering a highly unlikely card to give me a winning hand.
I used to feel kinda guilty getting super-lucky at the river. I'm glad that's over. |

You shouldn't be embarrassed that you got lucky and won the hand, but you should be embarrassed for trying to bluff a calling station.

Re: I\'m surprised at how quickly I got over...
If you have PT, go back and examine those hands. Look and see if you really "rivered an unlikely card."
It's quite possible you had the pot equity/pot odds to raise, or at least call. (And if you would call and can raise for the same price, raise by all means.) Making a card on the river when the pot is big and you have a bunch of outs is just good poker. And having a calling station to bet into makes it all the better. If you are betting out with a 2 outer on every street and rivered a lot, you are just lucky and need to plug a big leak before it costs you. -D |

Just bluffing against someone who usually folds unimproved on the turn, but then he calls (and i raise my eyebrow intending to check the river behind him) and out of nowhere comes an unlikely out. good feeling. |

I always figure that that is what I they get for not protecting their hands.
Remember, all your opponents are sub-human, retards, when they lose it is just the natural order of things. |
