I'm playing £5 stt's today and in the first one I 'accidently' pressed call to a 350 raise instead of fold  ::)  I was on a pair of 8's so I thought maybe I'll be ok.  I wasn't losing out to trip 9's.

Second game I'm going ok. Was down to about 400 chips but pulled it back to around 1900.  Got delivered 8 4 on BB so just checked.  Flop comes 8 4 T - Lovely eh?

How can you call a fairly decent raise of 150 (in comparrison to the pot) and go all in on a pair of 8's with a Q in the background?

It's been the story of my last couple of days but the main thing is that it's not getting to me  8)

Sorry and thankyou :)

50p in the pot...

A small price to pay for such a release.  ;goodvevil;

He's a fish Silo, don't worry.
