What happens when I FINALLY trust myself? |

I think the best players are the ones who figure out when their opponent ISN'T BUYING THEIR SHIT TALK but will fold to their aggro raise. I mean, if you're losing in the hand, but know a big bet will make them fold, the proper play is to do it everytime.
But what happens when the newbie finally has the balls to trust their read? Well.. this...

My biggest weakness by far is not having a bankroll to trust the kind of reads and tells I pick up at the online tables. Sort of the "I know you have nothing, but I could never call this" kind of crap. This guy beat me for 100 bucks when his runner runner flush hit on the river a little while ago, and I noticed a DEFINITE leaning towards the suited cards + nice flush draws. I prayed the whole way in this hand that I'd pair up, or that a trash card would hit, because I saw NO way that my ace high wasn't good. The 10 that hit just gave me the balls to push my stack in, JUST in case he had a low shitty pair. ^_^
Thank you, I can now retire.

very ballsy moves 8)
personally i wouldn't raise with ATo UTG+1 and that raise on the flop would have sent alarm bells ringing. Nice work.

I think that would be the best option.

First off, I hate you scanx. ^_^
Second off, I wasn't particularily scared by the min-raise on the flop in the least. I had been sitting at the table for about two hours intently watching this guy. (Almost to the point of tunnel vision really)
It's a pretty common FL move to re-raise the bets on the flop with a nice flush draw. This hopefully gets people to check in front of you to allow you to see two free cards. (The turn + river)
I stick by it, and me and scan are currently arguing about IRC just about this... hahahh..
