cry me a river.
you know there is always white and yellow with pink sport in life- literally what this means is that not all mouses like cheese, but mostly of them prefer to be treated well and if you spend enough time talking about cognitive decisions and metaphorical meaning of crispiness they will eventually become quite conscious of situation.

You cant do nothing the river is the dread street because this is the street where you will either take down the pot moves over the other side of the bubble or this is where you career ends and is knockout of the tournament! Anyway you cannot do anything about variance and just have a healthy bankroll which will keep you afloat while the tide pass and if you skilled enough you will make money and not losing money is better than losing. So hope for a break even stretch if you losing like that or take a vacation!

The river that card from hell the card that crushs hope and demolish bankrolls the evil one when WE lose or it also can be the cash builder the bankroll raiser the card that saves the miracle provider the card that make you feel good Like everything in life there is two points of view depending on which side you are Winner/loser

If I cried myself a river it wouldnt be the 4 of clubs
------------ I think I'm going to stop playing AK, this guy in the PSO Premier Skill League called my 2.4k 3-bet (stakes 150/300/30), leaving him with 708 behind, with 57s. Flop comes Q66 with 2 clubs, i naturally bet the other 708 and he snap calls, turns a 7.

This is very frustrating when it happens and we have all been through this at one time or another. You feel like the whole world is against you when this happens and you need to take a break and then come back fighting fresh

Don't bet on the river if you are unsure about whether or not you have the best hand. I know I have mentioned it before, but it is something that you should always remember. You are only going to get a call from a better hand and a fold from a worse hand, so don't make that bet!

I disagree, depending on the type of opponent you can pick up some value from a river bet, particuarly if you missed a street of value by checking the flop/turn. Obviously this varies from opponent to opponent, but betting middle pair with a missed flush draw on the board can get value from weaker hands from looser opponents who have a tendancy to hero call.

I had the same expierence with AK in the past. It seems that we can´t hit anytime the flop after a preflop battle with this "nice" hand. Or we hit the top pair and get a runner runner suck at the river...
Better luck next time
