$1-3 NL – Playing like a donkey part 4 of 4

I was still playing looser than I usually do up to this hand. I had recoupped 1/2 of the losses from the hand in part 3. I had been very aggressive pre and post, but still very weak on the river. Checking in position, just to see what my opponents are in the hand with me with. Surprisingly, they were usually in there with busted draws and bottom pair. Even though I was still in there and playing angry poker, these opponents were willing to gamble it up as well.

In this hand, I think I made too tight of a fold. Against two opponents that were playing as mentioned above. I chickened out and folded to the aggression.

V1 in this hand had been shoving a lot with his stack and showing up with speculative hands. I only seen him 3 bets with KK once. V2 loves to play his draws and loves to peel a turn card if he can improve to another draw. Also, his table talk is all bullshit too. V2 I labeled as weak-loose and any aggression from him needs to be respected. I do have a tell on him, and know when he is interested in continuing, and used it as part of my decison.

V1 cbet was so strong to me, that I didnt think my top pair was good here. I glanced over at V2 and saw his tell and accounted for V1 action, I decided this is not a good spot to continue. And like a Nitty donkey, I let it go.

The turn was like a punch in the stomache and the action that followed was like putting salt on a wound. I was really beating myself up at this point. I was playing my F-game. I don’t even think I was even playing the game. I was just there waiting for my opponents to take my chips.

I think it was this hand, that influenced my actions in part one. I didn’t want to be bullied around anymore.
