I agree with what you are saying.
As I said to an earlier reply, I didn't mean for this to be a "God, how dare I get sucked out on like that."
Rather I meant that, this is the first time i've actually seen someone playing such crap.
Maybe I haven't noticed before because they muck their cards after the hand and most of the time you don't see what they were calling you down with, who knows.

But, I agree. In a game like that you just have to sit back, play tighter and wait for opportunities.
In fact, after I reloaded, a couple of hands later I won almost all of that $50 back (sadly, not off of the person that took it) and when I left the table I was up for the evening.

So, to all, I apoligize if it seemed as though I was moaning because of a bad beat.

These are the plays that make this worthwhile for us. I think it was Phil Hellmuth who said: "If it weren't for luck I'd win all the time." But if it weren't for luck no one would play with him.

We've all had bad beats, and I've seen some of the worst ever--but the fact is--YOU WANT THESE PEOPLE CALLING!! The more people playing horribly loose, the more money you will make in the long-run. Yesterday I had 4 people go all in with flush draws, and I called with top set, or a nut straight--and they all hit the flush on the river! But ya know, I win 70% of the time, and I like those odds. So keep your head up and know that in the long-run, these are people you can make a living off of.

Good bet pre-flop.
Bet more on the Flop. I would say around the pot. But when CO have only $15.5 left.. Well then bet $15.5 to make it easy for him.
What are you doing on the Turn? $15 into a $60 pot.. Bet all-in or check. Preferable all-in.

You got outdrawn because you bet so little on the Turn. (And on the flop.)
It's your fault. Not the fish. He doesn't know better. But you do.

Please..no bad beat stories. I don't care if these weren't you intentions, but this is obviously why you posted this.
