Hoo boy, if you go on tilt every time you are a slight favorite and don't win, you'll be on tilt a lot. You were behind from the flop on. You gotta get over it.

You know thats a great point... it wasn't really a bad beat (although in any circumstance it is frustrating to see T3 flipped over as a winner after you raised). The reason my post emphasized going down in limits was because I got the impression from the post that this $300 pot felt like a monster pot to the poster, and that winning or losing it would make a difference to him financially.

How was I behind on the flop? I had two overcards with the nut flush draw, or 15 outs twice. Check your % before posting. I tilted because he called me with T3, I understand people like this are good for the game, but in the heat of battle you dont think in those terms...

I think the real problem here, is that you should not feel anything like the "heat of the battle" just because this is the kill hand (or any other hand). If this happens, you are playing at a limit too expensive for your roll, and you must account for these types of situations when you play in game like this.

Heh. You have a little temper there. If you'll note in my original post, I state that you were a slight favorite, but you were losing at the time.

This obviously isn't about my poker knowledge, it's about losing your temper.

but in the heat of battle you dont think in those terms...
Maybe don't think about it so much as a "battle."

Just a thought.

Im suprised he didnt raise the turn or river if he had T3 for TWO pairs. Maybe one of those really LP...

I feel for you, but its the same for all of us and that is an important part of being a good/great poker player.

FWIW... if he had 93 he flopped two pair. If he had T3 he turned two pair.
