Or forgot the tantra "small hand, small pot" . . .
Got sucked out on the river twice - big.
On the button. $1 $2 game at casino. Playing tight aggressive. Stack of $250; villian had $750 or so.
Second time I was in late position (button) with AhQh. Loose aggressive (good player) has been raising a lot pre-flop. I've 3-bet a couple times but decided to Smooth Call this time his preflop raise. Flop comes Qd4d8s (giving me top pair/top kicker). He bets out $20, I raise to $80 or so. He thinks and then pushes all-in (putting me all-in for remaining $150 or so). I KNOW I have him beat and snap-call. He turns over Ad7d (flush draw) to my top pair. Turn is a blank then on the River, I hear an audible "sigh" from the rest of the table as a diamond hits!
I realize I can't win every hand and could have 3-bet his preflop raise but . . .
I took a 15 minute walk to cool-down after that one.
Thoughts??
