Anyone seen the pickles?

Yeah, the hot ones! No, not those, the ones that are like jalapeno flavored.. AHhh yes, there they are. Hook the king up baby, ummmm.... Tasty.....

Ok, now that I've had my fix, I'd like to make a post bout the last few weeks. I'm settling down into a daily poker routine. I get home round 11 or so on the week nights and round 12 or so on the weekends. I typically get involved with the midnight madness on FT and something or other on UB. Sometimes I'll play more then two tourneys, but for the most part I'm attempting to limit my play and focus more upon those that I am playing. And I must say, its really starting to work out well for me. I've made two decent cashes in this time and I've cashed or bubbled in most others.

Last night sucked somewhat as I just cashed for minimum amount on ub and I played a pair of pocket bitches like shit on FT causing me to bubble, well click here to see that hand. I mean preflop I did well. After that however. I just needed to lay it down on the flop bet ol guy threw out there. I have thought about it and feel that his flop bet amounted to 1/3 of what he had left. This should of been like him jumping up and down saying dude, I have an ace! Or two! Perhaps I Could figure he'd have two kings but that would be a stretch and even so he'd still beat me! I knew I was beat when I called the 1k bet, but I just could not lay it down! WTF! I am finding myself having this problem lately. I'll know I'm beat, heck a couple weeks ago a friend was sitting next to me, I had hooks in a similar situation and turned to my buddy said I'm prolly beat but called anyways. Why can I not figure this out and lay them down!!!

I would like to take a moment now to comment on the rant I'm not going to get into about that donkeys call with a8 to my raise. Was my raise too big pf? Well, anyh00, no rant on his preflop play. As pathetic as it was.

But, I am aware of my problem and every time I come into that situation I will know I'm there again and will hopefully find the ability to start laying them down. I mean this really crippled me, I went from being in the top third to being in the bottom 20 in one foolish hand where I knew I was beat yet called anyway. This is why I am a fish.

Least I got pickles.
