Good play then, lol.

And when I said don't play your strong hands too strong, I meant after the the flop(TPTK,overpair, any hand thats pretty).

If I led you to believe that I call all the time, I'm sorry. That's not the case at all. I was just saying that terrible players can spike 2 pair on the river for your entire stack, which might send you on tilt.
no worries on the misread.

regarding playing strong hands "too" strong: i'd rather play it hard and take the occasional bad beat from some bozo spiking a lucky river card because my aggressive betting will mean he's calling incorrectly.

i'll even compliment him on his play, and then make a note in poker tracker so that i can be sure to find my new found buddy again.

i'm pretty much past the point of bad beats putting me on tilt. bad beats are annoying, but if people weren't playing this way, how would we make money...
