The guy with the straight should have put in a bigger raise to reduce the pot odds for BB, he didn't and so BB hit his flush and made him pay.(as for channel 226 I've seen 1 royal flush, and as for single pairs that can be enough on no-limit)

This just somes up texas for me...
Playing with an edge.
Betting big when you've got something good in front of you.
Not playing everyhand and waiting for the cards.
....and after all that anything could happen on the next card so you need to employ MoneyManagement.

Casper on 226 just summed it up a couple of weeks ago, when he said something like:- if you play over the long run i.e 100K hands everyone will see the same cards...
The same cards!! and yet some players go on to be big winners and others will be losers. The only thing that separates players over the long run is betting, when/if you bet, how much you bet and playing with the odds in your favour = your edge.

...hmmm :frown: sound familiar???


I've only been playing poker ~4months and let me tell you this, texas no-limit cash is the cannines hoojamabits, like Cable with 200:1 leverage... I know I'll trade every 3mins with no stop...
