Listening to that voice pt. II, Laying this down?

    Default Listening to that voice pt. II, Laying this down?

    Yes, this is a HH from a SNG but it's in here for a reason. I find the same thing happens to me in ring game play where i had a great hand, and I make the right read on the opponent, but I call and dump. I need some ideas on how to just believe your reads and sometimes that ur best hand has just turned to garbage. I'm posting this hand as an example, but also, looking at the pot size, can I lay this down even when I know I'm beat....

    I could lay this down looking at the oesd that completed. If it was ring i might consider laying it down.
    Problem is ill push differnet hands/edges in ring compared to a tourny. Sng there is no way i fold that ever. Ring, i may consider that im beat by set/straight here and fold.

    Drinking your milkshake.
    I haven't looked at the results as yet, but there's no way im folding two pair here with the stacks as shallow as this.

    Your table chat sucks.

    Don't fold good hands with pot or less behind. Just don't do it.

    Fnord, ur always commenting on my table chat, I think out loud a lot and online it's typing. Should I just never chat? I mean and here what does it matter if I let him know my hand if I'm going to call. Should I just never talk about hands, after a hand I often type what I read them for and when I'm close or spot on (which is getting more often) then they show me confirming my read. I dunno man, whadya think....

    This pure ego. You want them to know you made the right read? So lets assume they begin to believe you and next time you are betting into them they remember it. What do you think they are going to do?

    Giving away that you're a thinking player is bad.

    You can't lay this down, any AK-AJ or worse two pair would've known they are commited and might just put their chips in like that.
