Poker Lessons at the Zoo

I went to the National Zoo today with the kids. I was walking through the reptile house and there was a big rule hanging there...I've been good at this back when I first started playing, but I guess bad beat after bad beat, it gets a little frustrating and its hard not to berate the bad players or the bad plays, next time, congratulate them on there stellar play, eat up your steam and just keep the game going...keep berating the fish, the fish leaves...so on that note:

Taste of my own Medicine

Wow, That shit hurts...

I already busted making a bad call to JP on a 77T board when 5 people limp in for $2 and im on the button and make it $12 to go and everyone calls. Flop comes out and it gets checked around to me and I'm already thinking if I get raised, I'm folding...I make it $45 and get raised by JP as he shoves the rest of his stack in the middle...after tanking a little bit and giving JP more credit than he should have I make the call and just have to prove to myself that anyon that pushes on me will have that 7...he flips over 57

Frustrated a little bit, I rebuy and look down to AA and make a small raise to $40 after i think 3 people already called a $12 raise before it got to me...oh, everyone called the $40 at that...I rebought for $150 and when the flp came out mushed to get insta raised by Travis to $250, everyone folds and he shows me 24, he felts me, I do the "E Cringe" and nobody is trying to laugh, but soon as I say, "wow, now I see how this feels, this shit aint cool..." that was everyone cue to bust out laughing! "I didn' want to be the one to say it," Travis says...But when I sit there and chuckle to myself after snapping someone off with Duece-Four, I promise I won't laugh next time I felt someone with my hand cause this shit hurts...That my friends, is a taste of my own medicine.
