OK, these are bad beats, but this is what I hate about poker.

I raise to $7 with [3c]. 1 caller.
Pot $17. Flop [Qs][5d]. I bet $14 and he calls.
Pot $45. Turn . I check. He bets $8. Hes got like $60 behind

I basically have total garbage here, but I also have a read. I think and think and then say "Fuggit...Im all in". And I check raise all in. He instacalls.

He has [8s]. You know how much heart it takes to check raise all in on that turn card? Its real easy to check / fold, but my read told me I was ahead so I did the right thing.........River is a . Why would I expect anything different

#2) 1 limper..I raise to $10 with [Qh] OTB. The SB now makes it $32. Once again, I have a read and I shove a full $200 stack in with KQ. Weak / tight? i dont think so.

He calls with [8h]. Once again, my read is DEAD ON!

Flop Q88....bye bye stack. I hate this game sometimes. A few more hands like this and Im sure I'll slink back to my rockish / nitish play and win my money with little trouble and little variance.
