Hi all,

If it often happens that you are way ahead on the flop, the river also benefits you and the last card on the turn screws up your hand and you lose. This happens to me very often as a winner in such a situation that I benefit from it and more often that I am really devastated and lost.
I'm looking forward to your comments

I take it easy – these situations are just part of the game. To offset this unpleasant factor, I play 4 to 6 tables at the same time. Just try playing more tables if it's not a problem for you.

Of course :)

Villans have outs too...

But as soon you familiarize yourself how to cope with that your life will get better.

Its one of the most gutting feelings to get an all in AK vs AQ and the flop comes AKQ, turn 6 and river Q. oh man its bad.
Or AK vs A10 the flop comes JK9, the turn 7 and the river a Q.
I think preflop all ins are usually a bad idea. I think in the past 2 weeks I have had pocket aces 5-7 times, and all but 1 of those preflop all ins was lost. Getting it in AA vs KK vs JJ and the jacks keep hitting a jack...
