Happened to me again

[Fatboy]

Just had a full house busted by another full house with a higher kicker Lost all my chips then last night had a flush bust by a higher flush. It seems all my best hands are getting beat.

Hey Fatboy.

Luck evens out in the long run. I know that sometimes it can seem like you're cursed or something, but it's really not a big deal.

We would be really happy if you decided to post some hands to ask for some advice and see if you're playing these hands well, but bad beat stories don't get much sympathy because most of the established players here who would give you good advice have been through their fair share. =)

post the hands to see where /if you made mistakes in the hands. THere are no kickers in full houses , 22 ona AAA board is worthlessand highly likely to be beaten

Hi Fatboy,

+1 to what spoon & Keith posted.

Focusing on bad beats/coolers takes away from time one could otherwise dedicate to actual improvement. I know the shift in mentality can be difficult, but exploring ways to maximize value in future situations can be fun & profitable.

Let's see a hand or two where Fatboy faced a close decision and see what opinions arise. Like the two forum legends above me posted, the bad beat/cooler stories generally get a cold shoulder... you're much more likely to engage fellow members with hand examples that require more in-depth discussion.

Best of luck to you!
