Ran into a cooler but didn't tilt

[Todd]

1-3 NL at Encore Boston

Situation everyone has seen where one LAG at the table is annoying to everyone with his loose play and odd bet sizing.

Hero with ~$200
$6 straddle on
Hero in BB with Ks Kc raise to $28 total
LAG Villain in UTG+2 only caller

FLOP
6h – 3d – 2h

Hero bets $30
Villain raises all-in $140 total
Hero dismisses a set and puts Villain on heart draw and quickly calls

Turn 7d
River 9s

Villain turns over…..
….
10h – 8h

OUCH. audible gasp from the table on the rivered straight.

I’m a bit annoyed, but don’t think I could have played it any differently.

I was left with $58 and I tripled up an orbit or 2 later with 99 all-in preflop and hit a set vs 22 and AK. Then got stack chopped down to $70 and went all in with Ad-Kd and got 2 callers and tripled up again.

Left the 3hr session up a whopping $6! Happy with the session considering how it could have gone.
