Sometimes I feel that the players have tightened up. Sometimes it feels like there is no money here. Good god was I wrong. So if you're ever having a tough time in this cakewalk of a poker game...Take 5, pour a drink, and practice some good ol' table selection!

Case #1

I don't care what's on the board (no 4-flush...a 6 made a straight on the river) checking a set heads up to close the action is criminal
