Has anyone ever.....

Felt this stupid!! It was my 8th trip to casino in 4 weeks. that's only couple shy of all i played in last year and a half ( availability). i've won most, one big loss. I knew a night was coming, I'm a believer in math.

So, I'm down 35 bb's. I know of about 10 bb's worth of mistakes I"ve made but really was following Al's great advice. Think about them , but later. poker is now. And I was doing a good job of that.

Not a full table like i'm used to and you know, terrible cards, 2 pair all night, both cracked, yadda yadda.

Well, I have 15 bb's left and I get A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] mp. I raise ( 2 limpers in front ) 6 see the flop. blank and 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] checked to me, I bet, 3 callers. Turn is K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] limper bets, I raise, one caller behind me and original bettor folds. Heads up.

River is 10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] me,him,me, he caps. I asked if that was the cap, dealer goes heads up, betting unlimited. I knew that in my head but never seen it yet and never been in situation before. It is the other guys firs hand. Came in late for weeknight in Indiana.

Now you guys are all more experienced and are already mumbling "poor dumb bastard". This nut flush could make me even for nite ( not what should be thinking ) I raise, then him. I think ,I have the 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] for in the middle and A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] so I raise, then him.

Here is the stupid part--as I pushed in another raise it was too late to pull it back as it hit me " oh my god, could he have the Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]" And I felt like matt damon before KGB flipped over his cards.

It wasn't that I thought it impossible he would have that earlier, I just never thought. Thinking has he been drinking, did he think I had a set cause I was raising from get-go, I thought this is what heads up is like,,exciting. But never SAW the straight flush.

guys next to me are going " that sucks. Only card in deck that could beat you. what a crappy loss" I was not thinking poor me, stupid river card or that 's not fair...I'm thinking " YOu are an idiot. Why did you think he was still betting? Cause he is a moron like moi`.

So basically i'm boo hooing here, not cause bad beat, but because would one person on this forum tell me they have been that stupid even if you lie so I can go to sleep tonite... thanks in advance. Please don't let me down.
