Re: I am an F King Tosser In all honesty ColU I think the problem here is the flop, you should have been cagey really as 10 J on that flop already had you almost drawing dead. I can't really criticise the call on the turn BUT you really shouldn't have called the river bet. :spank Sometimes making good folds can be as satisfying mentally as winning large pots. If you focus on that then you may get away in the future. :ok
