Why I suck at poker (LC)

[Harv72b]

Variance has bent me over and rammed a large shiny object into a tight orifice over the last 24 hours. It seemed like I was taking it better than I have in the past, but it still sucked. Then, I see myself making utterly stupid mistakes like this one, and I wonder what I was even doing at a table.

Reads: CO is an utterly retarded LAG, bordering on true maniac. A couple orbits before he had 3-bet my UTG raise with 39o and never stopped raising after flopping bottom pair (the 3). No real read on MP3, but he's seemed reasonable over a small sample size. Hero has a good table image.

I'm posting this more as a cautionary thing for those people who don't fully realize that tilt takes many forms. If you wanna mock my play, please feel free--I deserve it. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I think I'd check the turn. MP3 probably isn't capping the flop out of frustration, but even if he is it probably won't get checked through with CO in the hand. Either that or open fold. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Look on the bright side - at least you'll have them confused. Your table image is now 'weird'.

[psyduck]

if you're folding to the cap on the turn, then you might as well fold to the 3-bet.

you have a lot of outs vs top 2 - an ace, a 4 or a 6. and either of them could be overplaying top pair.

I think I call down.

Harv,

Don't be so hard on yourself. Everyone misclicks.

Yucky fold.

I think the point of the post was that he knew he played it badly and shouldn't have folded. He was tilting.
