Learning to play two pairs correctly is as difficult as getting a College education, and just as expensive.

In my opinion this is one of the most important lessons in poker. Interestingly, it is the one that takes the longest to learn.UM3SH said:

Sometimes You Are The Bug....
But preferably, YOU ARE THE WINDSHIELD!
There’s a Mary Chapin Carpenter song with a line “Some times you’re the windshield, some times you’re the bug.”
Sometimes in Poker, you're on top of things; you're cookin' with gas; you're hot; you're rockin' it; you're gettin' it done, hitting flops, hitting turns, hitting rivers, WINNING. You're the windshield. :dancing2:
Sometimes, however, Poker does it's very best to knock you off of your stride, off your block, off your game, missing flops, missing turns, missing rivers. On those occasions, you're the bug.
Best of Luck at The Tables All!

I Don't Have A Gambling Problem...
I googled this quote and could not readily find it, so I am going to credit it to a horse playing buddy of mine (back in the day) that I heard say it multiple times... usually followed by a bit of a forced laugh...
I don't have a gambling problem, I HAVE A LOSING PROBLEM! - Action Jackson
Just as a side note, he was a damn good handicapper and had some very big scores, but that is a very tough game to beat in the long-run, track take-out is huge. Anyway, Thank You, Poker, much more reasonable chance of being able to Win in the long-run if you are good!
