Damn, I was playing hold em til 1am last nite...I went up $50...but 3 'all ins' later....I was down $30. I hate when you lose when you really have good cards. I had a straight A, K, Q, J, 10...other guy who went all in had a full house....
Had a flush (spades) 3, 8, J, 6 K....same guy had the A of spades.....i was pissed!!
If i lose I want to lose w/ a ****ty hand...not a good hand! so here we are 6 hrs later..

Thats the problem when you play with some amateurs. They always pray to the River Gods and will call you with a flush draw possability. They'll live and die by playing that way but even if you have great cards that last card will bite you in the ***.
Lately I've been trying to play a little more. Trying to get advice from my brother. He's won a few tournaments in Vegas so he's a lot better than me.

No, he's actually a doctor and is about to go to law school. I know he's crazy, but he's a real thinker/strategist and thats what Poker is all about to a point.

Man I was up 60 dollars and buy in was 30 so I was up a lot of money at one point. Then a couple beers later I started making dumb mistakes and then I was at even (30), Then i went I had the chance to win practically all the money back I had been up with but no I pussed out and folded... after putting in 5 bucks already ughhhhhh. Damn game kill my inner child.
Pratik,
I had a flush off the flop hence why i raised high after the fact. This guy had pocket Aces ( A diamonds and A spades) and after I raised a good amount he went all in... I matched him as I figured id take my chances w/ my flush...so we both went all in and turned our cards over. I had K and 8 of spades in my hand. So the 4th card was like a 4 of hearts (didnt help anyone) and the river card was another spade which then gave him the flush except he had the A of spades (higher flush).

Damn I get it. That sucks man - especially with your King. I know you said you'd rather lose with ****ty cards but not me.
As long as you play smart and play your game, if the guy just has better cards and beats you then so be it. I feel a lot better knowing I played it the way its supposed to be played instead of making a dumb mistake. Either way you played it the way I would have (Calling an all-in after having a flush after seeing just the flop)
