Message: [QUOTE="Matt_Burns88, post: 5653940, member: 343619"] It's always a horrible feeling to get your chips in good, only to see the miracle card come on the river and you watch your chips slide across the felt into your opponents stack, but you have to think in terms of how the hand plays out in the long term. Your opponent has around 1-3% chance of hitting that card, that means that about 98 times out of 100 you are going to win that pot, so you WANT your opponent to call. The joy of poker is that all players in the pot almost always have some % of equity in the hand until the last card is down and even when the river is dealt and they have 0% equity, they can still win! But if you can consistently get your chips in good and get called, you are going to print money in the long term. [/QUOTE]
