Re: Turned set with 4 to the flush on board
[ QUOTE ]
That last bit about leaving the table when you are ahead does not really hold up. Articles have been written about this subject of so called "money management" being a waste of time. The point is that poker is a long-run game, and that how long you play for makes no difference to your win rate. The only thing that does matter is how well you play. That said, yes it does give you a nice feeling to leave a table up, and if that is important to you then thats fine. But its important to realise that it has no influence on whether you would have won more or lost if you played for longer. Unless you were tired or there was some other reason for your no longer playing at your best. [/ QUOTE ] Well, it was nearly 5 AM, but I was still okay. It's not my money management that upsets me, it's my table selection. These new guys were all fairly aggressive, and while they weren't textbook "tight" they all had a sixth sense about when they had the best hand. How many .50/1 tables do you play at that are heads-up after the flop because the first five players fold? Nobody was limping in with J/4s or A/6o anymore. I'd made 10 BB/hr against a cavalcade of donks who paraded through the table and blew most of it because I didn't realize I'd become the sucker.

Re: Turned set with 4 to the flush on board
I play your hand the same way you did, if I don't have any reads. Don't worry about the river suckout or walking away from the table behind in cash. That's poker. When we can handle these aspects in a reasonable way, we are well on our way to becoming great players. I think ALL players have that sick feeling in their stomach when they get sucked out, even the greatest players. The answer is to just put it behind you and "Play great poker".
