Hand #1

Not that bad.


Hand #2

You just missed a river VB.

Hand #3

You got all ur money in on the flop with the current nuts and he sucked out. Whats the problem?

Man I wish this was my version of burning money.

Duplicate.

1. Just bet the turn, to start with. As played, just shove the river, obv. But check/calling the turn isn't great...that's a good card to dbl barrel.

2. What the hell is with the river check?! Just bet! Either FPS or monsters under the bed.

3. This can't be a serious question...you made a fine pf raise, flopped the nuts and stuck it in, what's the question? Why do the poker gods hate you?

I thought I included that as well about the being a GREAT card to double with.

I felt I played hand 1 bad on the turn and missed value on the river by not shoving.
In hand 2 I missed a valuebet which I'm pretty upset about.
I'm posting an obvious cooler hand (3) to contrast my upsettedness in hands 1 & 2.

Bdon just look at your avatar then everything is ok

There's a big upside here--you NOTICED that you missed value on these hands. If you think back a few months ago, you probably wouldn't be as upset over it or seen it as a 'big deal'. (General assumption if I may.) So, you can view it as progress instead of being upset.

If you wanna see burning money, I can send you hand histories.

Very true... the glass is indeed half full.

My avatar flops the nuts, every time.

I was expecting a youtube video of you setting money on fire...I feel so cheated.

PS on hand 2 its not a big deal value wise, but he's almost never betting there so
you def need to stick in a 3/4 pot bet, but he prolly woulda folded anyway so dont beat yourself up.

This OP is quite the level for all of us.
