    Default push river?

    and this time i was trying out the half-stack strategy, and i dropped $800 in 1500 hands...

    reviewing my sessions, i only made 1 dumb mistake, which cost me $140.

    sorry, but i need to rant a bit to blow off some steam.
    - KK cracked by AK all in preflop
    - 2pair rivered by flush when we get it in on the turn
    - AA 2 outtered by KK with 1 card to come

    ok, hand i wasn't sure about:
    villain was unknown.

    Turn: ($45, 2 players)

    River: ($115, 2 players)
    Hero is all-in $71??

    deeper, yes. as you can see, all in = 71 = roughly 2/3 of pot size.

    ok, just making sure i'm not going crazy. i immediately quit the session, because no matter how level headed i think i am i'm not gonna play well after taking a beat like that. yes, villain had 55.

    the following hand occurred immediately after on another table. not many hands on villain, but seems very LAG.

    Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is UTG with K 9
    Hero raises to $7, Button calls, SB calls, BB folds.

    Flop: 5 7 K ($23, 3 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $15, Button folds, SB raises to $35, Hero calls.

    Turn: Q ($93, 2 players)
    SB bets $50, Hero folds (would bet if checked to).
    i wanted to call (all in) so bad...then i figured there's no way i'm ahead, and quit the session.

    yeah its a good thing you didnt listen to your impulses on hand 2. hand 1 is very standard just got super unlucky.
