Never slow play a big hand when you are on a table with fish and players who call with anything. All night I have been trying to trap them after sufficient raises and they still call and hit unbelievable hands.
Just now I got AK on a cash table and raised x3 bb and hit two pair on the flop. Checked slowplayed it and the river gifted the fish a straight. He called my big raise with 24 off.
For once I wasent angry or did not kick off. You could say I have chilled about bad beats, but no, I have just gotten used to these players always getting the luck.
Anyone else ever been through constant crap like this on micro stakes tables?

2 hands in a row AA and next hand AK and then A/j. I was chip leader in a 360 .50 tourney with about 100 people left. I lost it all in those 4 hands.....

Yeah I hate it too. Its not the money i get wound up about its the fact i completely outplay them just get punished. The people saying its only 50c dont know what its like to have literally months of flopping, 2 pair, trips, flushes, straights, just to have some demented person call you and runner runner what ever it takes for him to beat you. Sometimes it feels like you are getting attacked from all angles, i've learnt to just stop playing when that happens.
