Power of aggression + Have you ever made this mistake?

[lozen]

So I have 4 tables going and called in late position with what I thought was a pair of 6's, BB raised 5 others called.
Flop came up 10-6-2 I raised in late position and bb 3 bet I capped. Turn was nothing BB Bet out utg called I raised BB folded UTG called. River ace UTG bets i raise he thinks and calls showing a-10. Im thinking yeah won a big pot. Nope i loose turns out I had a pp of 5's. BB had folded pocket aces. Table thought I was crazy. Never told them thought i had trips. Boy I got a lot of action after that and my raises meant nothing. Still cant figure out how i could make that mistake though.

But it sure showed the power of aggression or stupidity.

yeah, you have to watch the misreads. no offense intended, but that one was pretty big.

i've thought i had a flush and then realized, oops that's a club, not a spade.

Another popular one is to flop four to a straight, then pair one of your hole cards on the turn and think you've made your straight.

But you did the important thing right, you didn't say "oh gosh, I thought those were 6's," or just muck your hand. With some luck you can win back your money, or more, from the accidental advertising.

Its a crappy feeling.

Rub some dirt on it and play the next hand...

How about playing at a home game - when you 'read' someone to be on a particular draw - and they hit it on the river......only you misread the river card and go all-in thinking they missed... sucks

move on. happens.

Sorry but I disagree with the others who suggest putting it in the past and moving on.

Something like this is symptomatic of a bigger problem in concentration (or lack thereof), as well as problems in your thought methodology during the hand. You saw a set of Sixes and figured they were automatically good. Sounds like you may not have considered that the opponent may have had a set of Tens. Had you thought about it a little more, possibly you would have relooked at your hand and noticed the error earlier.

You pissed away what, about 4 or 5 big bets. That's an hour of expectation gone. Actually more like two, because you have to win it back and then some to make up.

Better to multi-table only 2 tables and make zero errors with sound thought methodology, than multi-table 4x and make this or similar error one time per session, and not be properly thinking the hands through.

Here's a (probably common) one: I had QQ and was called by someone who thought his 44 was AA [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I saw this one at my local casino a while back:

Two players got into a raising war on the turn and a heads-up all-in raising war on the river at a 4-8 table. Board is Q J T 6 2 rainbow. Local 20-40 pro waiting for a seat turns over the "obvious" AK for Broadway. Wackjob turns over QQ and says "ship it!"

My roomate once sat down for his whole bankroll (100$) at a 100NL table. The first hand he plays he gets 88 and tries to type in '4' to raise to $4 but instead types '444' and pushes all in. Player next to him calls lightning fast with A9...anyway flop is 8 8 3 ....

haha, thats amazing.
