I feel so frustrated. At least I made 3 buy ins even after this stupid hand. The converter is messed up but I was the one who pushed all in in the turn. They both called and I knew the str8 guy had a set minimum, but the other one was a great bozo who had been doing a lot of crazy stuff. That is why I called his reraise at the flop. Maybe I shouldnt have done it but I knew if I hit I would have got his stack.

I can only remember three pots of this size and I was ahead in all of them but lost anyway in all. I dont feel like playing for a few days....

Sorry about the BB story but this happened two minutes ago and needed to get it out.

AlexMR--you were allin with the best hand at the time. Keep that up and you WILL win

Poker like wives/girlfriends is about sometimes doing what's right without good results.

Explain to me the push on the flop. Isn't that only a good play if you think MP2 might fold (which it seems to me he won't with almost 1/3 of his stack already out there). Why not wait until the turn to go nuts.
