Do I do that because I could possibly get him to fold if he thinks I have two pair/set? I'm unassure why it's standard to get try to get it all in with awesome draws. Aren't they still draws and your playing from behind?

Like with an open-ended straight + flush draw vs an over, isn't that still only 14 outs, a 30% chance of winning? That's less than 1 in 3 times you'll come out on top so even if you win once, you still lost the other times. I know I'm missing something that I don't understand as a beginner, so what is that?

On another note, I am completely disgusted with myself. I thought I was better, mindset wise, than all the other noobs. I thought I had true conviction. I read all the stories about tilt, what not to do, and I nodded my head, saying "Why of course!" But when you're in the moment, when you just completely stop caring, it's a whole different story...

Long story short, I'm back to 130% because I'm a #$^%ing idiot just like all the other donkeys
