So im posting this cuz i feel i must share my stupid mistakes so i won't make them again and cuz i can't beleive myself i made this call.

So im playing 1/2 no limit and im up to 950 after 3 hrs of play. This is the most ive ever won at won sitting and i was pumped. So any ways im dealt an 8 3 off suit and I decide to play cuz im waiting for the big blind to come around so I can leave when its my turn to post. I limp in with 2 bucks and the flop comes up 6 3 6 the 3s a diamond. So I bett strong into the pot about 20 bucks and try to pick up the blinds. I get three callers. 8 of diamonds hits the turn. I m looking good at this point so I through 200 into the pot and try to represent the full house. I guy folds and the second guy calls the bet. River is queen of diamonds and I check the guy goes all in. I KNOW HE HAS THE FLUSH , HE KNOWS I I KNOW HE HAS THE FLUSH. What do I do? I call. He didn’t have enuff to cover me full, but he took a solid chunk of my stack. I got up and left with about 350 down for 900. Needless to say that was one of the dumbest calls I ever made in my life. I shouldn’t even be complaining aboiut it. I desevered wat i got. Moral of the story know when to leave!!!!!!!

I think the moral is three pair doesn't count. How are you looking good on the turn?

Moral of the story is not know when to leave, it should be to remain disciplined and not play trash because you are 'leaving when the blinds come around'.

Doesn't anybody listen to Kenny? It's all there, in a catchy little tune.

know when to fold 'em,
know when to walk away,
know when to run."

The key is Discipline

have the discipline not to get bored and play trash hands.
have the discipline to laydown hands when you know you're beat.

But then you already know this

Must be doing something right if you're up 3K.

I had 2 pair, with the top pair. 8's and 6's. I was trying to represent the full house. When he called all in i should have folded. I couldn't sleep last night thinking of how stupid this move was. And i had ear maked the 600 for a brand new frickin psp and couple of games for my train ride to work. Well im taking a week off of poker and just trying to get collected before i play again. I guess the silver lining is that i never learn until i make a huge mistake. And im tellin ya i won't be making this mistake again. The crapy thing was i was running that table. Spankin everyone up untill this happend. I usually find that don't make mistakes up untill the 3rd hour when i start getting tired. I won't be playing longer that 3hrs for sure!!!
