Message: [QUOTE="Herkstwin, post: 6185592, member: 285307"] Please clarify the situation that turns your ears red, for me. If you are in the big blind and someone raises, that is expected frequently. You must then assess the value of your cards and decide whether or not it is worth seeing the flop. If you raised first, before getting re-raised, from any position other than the big blind, you obviously had a decent starting hand that is in your range. Now you have to assess the opponent's intentions and history and decide whether or not you want to see the flop, or fold. Re-raising is also an option, to see if the opponent is trying to push you off your hand. Lots to consider and lots of math involved in your decision. Good luck with it. As for patience - several others have said the same thing - stay focused or leave or quit poker. The game requires patience. [/QUOTE]
