Also surely poker is not just about playing the stats. I agree I am probably ahead here most of the time, but I will also be behind occasionally. I acept that this level is not the WSOP, but surely it must contain the occasional good player. A rare player who has a least a fair grasp of the game? I know a lot of you guys are playing at a different level, but I just don't see what he is going to come over the top of my re-raise with, other than [AA] or possibly [KK].
Anyway I eventually folded and as I expected the fish called. The hand played out as follows;
FLOP -

- (typical I think to myself).RIVER -

*** SHOW DOWN ***

(a flush, Ace high)Fish: mucks hand
I'm not promoting folding [KK] pre flop. Generally my rule of thumb pre flop is to call an all in with [AA] or [KK]. This time round I just felt that this player wasn't going to come over the top of my raise without a huge hand and decided to walk away from it. It took me a long time to do it though and thanks to the 4h on the river I saved myself $37.50.
I would have loved to see what the fish had, but he didn't show.
