Why are you opening a pot for $12 with 4-5 at $1/$2 NL?

This call is fine if you like gambling. It's probably breakeven at best.

Wow, nice hand.

I'm not the biggest fan of this either. I can see this blowing up in your face way more often than not.

I guess it all depends on your read, table image, etc, etc...With those things coming into play maybe this wasn't really that bad.

This is a bit too much variance for me, like Ultimate George said this will blow up in your face fairly often. With a read I suppose it's alright, but I would definitely consider this a very marginal play either way.

Ok, so playing super lag today did blow up in my face. I made some retarded plays after getting bored of being cold decked for 2 hours straight. I'm going right back to boring old tag until my bankroll is way bigger. I can't afford to screw around like this unless I wanna start working at taco shop agian. The only thing I can say about the big hand is that I was playing super lag and running hot, but I should have at least feared bigger hands.

Here's how the carnage ensued:


This is one of my most embarassing hands. It was the ugly child of tilt. I knew he was fucking with me, but I still had no business calling that river!

The hands you got flushed on don't seem too bad. It's hard to avoid getting it allin with a set even when the flop is monotone because they could be drawing still plus you have some outs - that never hit .
