and i mean i knew exactly what he had. which meant i knew he didn't have a diamond. so all i had to do was dodge a pairing of the board. i knew it was over when i saw the ten on the river.

at that point i think i went on tilt and this guy who i had no read on basically owned my ass. he limped before me in a 5NL game and i raised. and then he shoves all in. i think about it for a second and basically just say fuck it and call:

so apparently, limp/shove means AA. anyways i donked those away myself. drinking is def -EV.

i sobered up a bit and got some cash back on this hand:

i'm pretty much just pissed about not making money tonight and wanted to vent. but feel free to comment on my play.

drinking might not be as -ev as you might think. just check out my threads "omg wine" and "auto 200nl?" i think that we might be able to make a killing while drunk because it throws off our opponents due to our wild play.

[checkraiseit]

Your first hand was played fine... imo. It COULD have been played fast, but villian had nothing but Ace high, so giving him a chance to bluff/catch was a good idea...considering the ONLY thing he coulda caught to beat you was a straight.

the 3rd hand...could use some improvement

Rather than just "know" your opponent doesn't have a certain hand...try to ask yourself "When my opponent does this...what has he had in the past? Does he bluff all in every hand? does he only check raise with a set or better?"

If you can get him down to a range...say 10 POSSIBLE hands...if you can beat 7 of them, then feel free to attack. If you can only beat 3 out of 10... then you may want to take a strong look at folding... (unless of course the pot is offering great odds)

Hope this helps...
