No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com
Hero (MP) ($14.02)
CO ($40.90)
Button ($10.15)
SB ($9.89)
BB ($11.51)
UTG ($5)
Preflop: Hero is MP with 10  , A
1 fold, Hero bets $1, 1 fold, Button calls $1, 2 folds
Flop: ($2.35) 7  , 4  , 9 (2 players)
Hero bets $2, Button calls $2
Turn: ($6.35) 5 (2 players)
Hero bets $5.25, Button calls $5.25
River: ($16.85) 5 (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $1.90 (All-In), Hero calls $1.90
Total pot: $20.65
Maybe I should have just checked the turn? Obviously the river call on my part was pure tilt. Need to work on that.

*Am I always beat here? Seems like everytime I run into this situation when I have an overpair, I'm alway beat by a higher overpair.
Well my bankroll is down to it's lowest point in over a year. I think I'm going to take a break from cash for a few days and concentrate on SNGs. I've got to clear my head.
*Really hard to answer that without knowing anything about the villains. Reads are important both at the table and when seeking advice. Also what range did you put them on and how did those change for each street?
Don't get all depressed and I wouldn't recommend switching over to SnG's if cash is where you want to be. Move down to 5nl and focus. You'll crush them in no time and it will do your confidence good. Just curious what is your bankroll? Are you using good bankroll practices?
