Message: [QUOTE="otaktay, post: 4170455, member: 307245"] I think a big mistake players make, and I am no exception, is falling in love with hands that don't always have good showdown value. If the board texture continues to change, you can't keep playing the hand the same way you did pre-flop. Sometimes letting that top pair go is hard, but it is more important to understand what your opponent is trying to achieve in the hand. Does their story make sense? What could they really have? If they are check calling check calling and then raising the river, chances are they had the winning hand the entire time... they probably flopped a set and were able to disguise it well. Don't get trapped by overvaluing your hand. Fold. Fold. Fold. Let the bluffers bluff and live to see another flop. One day you'll have the nuts and your opponent just won't be able to stop betting into you. [/QUOTE]
