FTR Hand History Converter Output (intended for copying and pasting into poker forums!):
PokerStars Limit Hold'em, $0.04 BB (10 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 10, K
1 fold, Hero calls, UTG+2 calls, MP1 raises, 4 folds, SB calls, BB calls, Hero calls, UTG+2 calls

Flop: (11 SB) Q, 2, 5 (5 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets, 1 fold, MP1 raises, 2 folds, Hero 3-bets, MP1 caps, Hero calls

Turn: (9.5 BB) 6 (2 players)
Hero bets, MP1 calls

River: (11.5 BB) 3 (2 players)
Hero bets, MP1 calls

Total pot: $0.54 (13.5 BB) | Rake: $0.02

Results:
Hero had 10, K (high card, King).
MP1 had A, 3 (one pair, threes).
Outcome: MP1 won $0.52


I know I should not have played KTs from early position. I just got so impatient with the hands these guys were playing. Before this hand they were raising with A2 and 7K and sorts of crap, while I was playing by the books starting hands. After an hour of breaking even, I decided to play alittle looser.

So its my fault really, I went outside the books because I got impatient...another lesson learned...and got beat by a pair of 3s lol.

some will say they dont like it, but at these stakes, i LOVE the limp of KTs. but, that said, i equally HATE the flop bet into so many people when you have ZERO potential. i mean, you have nothing! no backdoor draws....nada, zilch, SPEW. and, to continue on with the betting...ok, i see it as a desperate attempt to fold him off. and, i'd be lying if i said i didnt do it....probably yesterday. but, its just horrible to do very often. (and when i've done it, ive had a read and history on a player...it sounds like you didnt. thats really bad.) i mean, look at what he chased you down with! let that be a lesson to NEVER bet again w/o some potential to win the hand or draw out.

please realize this is called TILT. and, it turns would be winners into losers.

the limp isnt so bad, imo, because your opponents will obviously take much worse hands way too far. but, the aggression when it missed was beyond terrible.
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

This is not about this hand, this is about tilt...

Being pissed at your opponents is irrelevant. It's the cards that count. That's the best tilt advice there is.

Second best advice is to notice when they are on tilt because they will almost always ignore Rule 1.
"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on." (George Bush).
