Control you tilt

This guy just lost 2 masssive pots. I can understand if they were bad beats, but he chased to draws and didn't hit. He openly said he was very upset. The pot I played with him was not huge, but it still goes to show you how dangerous the tilt factor really is.

I am trying to figure out the hand you displayed. You raised with A 5 off out of position. Now the bet on the river has me confused. Are you saying you feel your Ace kicker is the winner so you bet out into a 2 paired board that confidently?

I'd have been check calling you here with a decent ocnection to the board then raising you on the river with my FH or mucking your overbet.

You lucked out here that they did not have a decent pocket pair or had any connection to the flop. There was no chase going on here though, just a donk calling you with king high.

I knew ace high was winning. 100% no doubt in my mind. Which is why I bet.

His call is the point of this thread.

I like threads like this, it reminds me not to tilt when I get my bbeats, or loose a hand when I go in with best one. grrrrrr

meditaing stops you from going on tilt make your inner peace greater

For A A is not the best hand..

QK JQ KJ..suited for me are the best cards!

In my opinion his play is unimportant. He massively misplayed the hand and you profited end of story. As long as you can control your tilting his is of no consequence to you.

I've gotten A A a lot of times, and i only win with them about 25%.
I love going K J vs A A or Q K, KK,QQ,JJ,etc.

I actually folded AA today, the hand is just not reliable sometimes when people are calling machines. I had AA, 9 player table, 3handed at the flop, when the flop was q k 8, all spades, I didnt have a spade, action in front of me, one guy bet big, another play went all in, I assumed someone either called my preflop raise with kq or they had the flush or the draw, but either way I folded, next card was a spade, which I was glad to see after I folded because htey turned their hands over and I saw 88 and AQ, with ace of spades.
