Message: [QUOTE="theANMATOR, post: 5451072, member: 377741"] This is definitely a great feeling. Just now - I called a big raise from the button with A/9 s I felt like he was betting big with a pocket pair, probably 99+. Flop comes AJ9. Bam! Two pair - Guy 3/4 pot. I'm about 85% sure he has Jacks now. I call - reluctantly. Turn is an 8, making 2 to a flush, Guy shoves. I have him covered by nearly double so I pouty face call - because I got two pair darn it, although I'm about 185% positive he has Jacks, could he have A/x, or Q/T, or a 9/8 - Nope - I just knew. I should of folded my flopped two pair - but I'm terrible at folding, so I doubled him up. The crushing it part - is when my reads are correct making accurate - callable bets for my opponents, and they call - when they shouldn't have with top pair - and they pay me off. Still working on that - but it really feels good building the stack with accurate reads. This is also a great feeling. I'm able to feel this roughly once a day in the Venom satellites. There is always one total AGGRO player who breaks the LAG status - those players often have huge stacks - but can never hold on to them, and it's a real treat to be the one that takes 3/4 of the chips he lucked into - and have them tilt off with J/5 suited. HA! Do you have a list? :) Am I on it? :eek: Agree - there are a couple - that provide a bit more enjoyment than most others. :stupido3: I would love to make this a goal of mine some day however I think if I made that my current bar - I would feel quite bad about my play nearly every day. (I've still only been playing for less than a year). The best day I ever had - just a couple months ago - I can remember two specific errors I made during one of the events I ended up winning. The one that sticks out is near the final table - with about 20 players left I made a bad call on the turn with 2nd pair and the bottom end of a straight draw. Villain had a set - and I totally misread his hand. Although I won the event - that particular hand sticks out to me. Yes I have experienced this a couple times - and it is quite pleasant. Yes - I like to think about the good feelings - to counter all those things that make us feel cranky. :) Sometimes - similar to your description - I get quite irate when making great reads and collecting chips, after leading a tourney for well over 1-2 hours, breaking into the money and ending up cashing for less than EV due to 1-2 hands where your set was rivered by a straight/flush. Those moments are quite frustrating when 1-2 hands totally destroy 4-8 hours worth of hard earned work. [/QUOTE]
