That sure is a persistent bluff.

Don't the maniacs ever get suspicious is they find you sitting to the left of them every table they go to?

Well now I feel dumb because I folded the winning high card ace (gutshot + 2 overcards, was planning to fold if I didnt win) against someone who had bet all the way to the river. A7s won the 9 or 10BB pot unimproved.

Edit: this is the only time this month I can remember folding the winner on the river, so I guess it's not too brutal, but it still makes you feel pretty dumb.

I just folded 66 on the flop when three overcards came, and there was a bet and a raise infront of me. Ace high won that hand. I didn't feel dumb, I felt like punching my monitor.

I've done the same thing myself. All I can say is make the correct plays when you need to. As an aside, I really do need to improve my WTSD%.
