no, it didnt snap me off, thats why the "no offense." i just saw the way it read, and figured it could be easily misinterpreted.

played up there last night and got it handed to me. get this...

i go down about half a buy by playing a little too aggro (opponents as a whole are definitely more aggressive than the 10's...dont know why it used to be the same).

got adjusted and brought it back to up half a buy. so, i'm getting some confidence.

then, i find a LAGtard who is spewing chips into me right and left, as i continually set him up with some good poker, imo
(when you can get inside their heads and SEE that you have them off guard...you can make quite a run...rare as that is).

then...he raises oop from the sb with 73o. i have AA in the BB and stupidly elect to smooth call...looking to set him up again. he flops 7 3 T two hearts. i think he may be on a draw, so i bet $1. he calls. turn blank. i bet $2...(here i think i got him right where i want him because i'm betting into him instead of letting him play into me)...and he donks me all in for $26!! i'm so Fing confident now that i think he's on a tilt/bluff, and almost instacall him. he flips the 73 (2 pair) over, and before i can say "pair the board" he fills up on the river with another 7!! wtf?!

i broke out into the anger sweats. i joked it off with him in the chat about how that was the sickest beat i've taken in a year...prolly close...and gave hime the obligatory, nh. but, i could feel the steam inside. i had to get up and leave ALL MY TABLES before i tried to donkstack someone else with a 73o of my own.

first time i've really felt TILT in a long time. you usually get smaller versions of tilt that we have hopefully learned to squelch, but this one had me boiling.

and i prolly saved another full buy-in by leaving.

thats my tip o' the day for newer guys...LEARN WHEN YOU ARE TILTING...AND LEAVE FOR AWHILE!!

thats the biggest money-saver/earner you can ever learn to accomplish.
