Posted by midnight1954: you know when you heve played to much when you call an allin with a nut diamond flush , only to see that A of diamonds in you hand is the A of hearts,
Or when you shove and realize your AA is really A4
THIS
happened to me in different occasions....and sometimes it worked fine
PS: this is also the reason I always turn on four colours deck
4-colour deck is WIN!
It may look "noobish" but it's great for many tables.
And yeh, I've done the ol' A4 trick a couple time
I actually shoved it once pre in a $30 buyin MTT - got called by AA - and I thought - oh ok - split pot - then I realised what I had and nearly cried ! Then flop comes 2,3,5 ! Another 4 on the river tho and split pot - BUT - I called called a donk for the rest of the game lol.
I know I'm playing too much poker when I start sizing up random peoples game - like people I meet at pubs and such, I think - oh yeh - they'd be killer at the poker table.. This used to happen a lot more when I was playing a lot of live poker.

the worst must be when you think suited aces - could there be a better starting hand

A4, how many times have you gotten excited to see that only to realize it is not AA?! A little trick to make you feel better: If you squint your eyes just right, A4 looks like AA!

you know you are playing too much poker when the only times you have throughout the day to use the bathroom, cook something to eat, and step outside for a smoke are the last 5 minutes of every hour....'cause that's when the tournament's break
