    As long as you're making solid plays, just keep plugging away. I lost $1144 three days ago. It's a distant memory now...

    Tough one man, he's gotta have an over pair (or pair of tens), the only question is if it can beat your kings. I know your style, and it's probably a borderline call. All depends on your reads. He probably knows you're on an overpair as well, and knows you can't beat aces, so he goes for it. You just gotta think of that age old question, "What would he jump all-in with that I can actually beat?" QQ? JJ? A10? Honestly, I probably would've called too, but I've been a major fish lately, sliding just like you...
    Lack of Discipline and Over-Confidence... The root of all poker evil.

    I think it was a stupid call. He was too tight and I have no need to call a $60 raise with one pair. Other people I should have called against because they were sick of me raising, but not him.

    Honestly, I figured him for AA. FUCK!

    He never raised pf, but since I dont have pokertracker on paradise its not as easy as simply looking him up.

    Bad situation, but I agree with you that it should have been folded. If you have him pegged as pretty tight, what's the worst hand you can put him on here? AA, any set, maybe Qd Jd... any one of those is trouble for you. Let it go. It definitely sounds like you've let your controlled aggression wander over into tilt.
