I'll admit to being a little apprehensive about responding to posts in this forum because emotionally I admit to having a hang up with being supersticious. Intellectually I know the idea of a jinx is bunk. So at the risk of jinxing myself [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img], the action that PokerBob received on these hands is exactly the kind of action a good player desires. In the long run the suckouts will happen as often as they should and a few hands don't matter all that much at limit poker anyway. The hands that PokerBob posted are perfect examples of poor players exhibiting their IMO number one money losing habit, going too far with their hands.

Oh sure, I realize these points. I'm just saying if I played full time, I'd probably never see the long run because after enough beats like this in a short period I'd be ready to commit a felony. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I marvel at limit hold'em. Last night I had Kings cracked twice by having players go too far (no big deal), got down about 20 BB's, but won a couple of big pots from the blinds with less than great hands pre-flop simply because I got in cheap. It's never pleasant to lose a pot you're heavily favored to win but if you play long enough you get used to it and handle it. Just have to realize that poor players are losing a lot of money by taking their crummy hands too far after the flop in the pots you do win.
