Re: Thoughts I think you need to put those down to badbeats. Sometimes you can't fold JJ against people calling with anything - he got lucky. When that happens, i just update my notes. Die... scum... etc

Re: Thoughts Thank you all. Thats what I was hoping you'd say but sometimes when you're peed off you question whether you made the right play or not. George, that is quite close to what I actually wrote.

Re: Thoughts Pocket Jax is the poison chalice of poker. I loose sleep at night thinking about the money I would have saved over the years by binning them preflop.
