    how can u get off tilt when this keeps happen to u ? please some1 hep

    That's unlucky - but the guy is going to catch his card one time in five (if no-one else folded a 9 or 10 pre-flop) after all the money went in, so although you flopped the nuts, it's not as bad as it first looks.

    I know that's small consolation when you've lost, but it's the only way to look at it to avoid staying on tilt.

    As the above poster has said its a harsh one i can understand, however like your opponent here im calling this, i would be aware of the straight draw but i know i still have the FH out which i have always valued. All i can suggest in situations like this is to tighten up and play only very strong starting hands, thats how i avoid these situations, although i understand and have felt the same loss of money and chips before i realise that i have to tighten up as much.

    im thinking, 'villain' is pressuming his 2 pair is winning when he goes all-in,but he has that FH possibility as back up, if he isnt...still,hes pretty lukky to hit it,cant remember the last time i got lukky and hit a saving card..but see it all the time.

    Wow what a pot thats gotta be on MC next week....

    And the thought of even going near tilt with that sort of money on the table scares me !!!

    might have got this wrong  but  you cost youreself .  do you think its worth calling a rasie with j 8 ?   then you hit  and thats when it leaves you with no choice   and you got unlucky but if you got out pre flop you would have only lost £2

    defo will be on top of the pots next saturday, pretty sick aslong as your br can withstand such a bad hand then you should be able to move on, just take a break if your tilting, got your money in ahead which is all you can do.

    Take a break. If poker ever makes anyone "sick & tired", they are not enjoying it.

    Oh - & NEVER play Omaha - huge beats are completely standard in the 4 card-game!

    surely if you are playing at £2-£4 you want big pots when you flop a straight?

    it was a bad beat no more no less the pot size makes no difference imo

    if that happened to me i would be gutted to lose my stack which most probably would be about £50 at my level,so its all relative me thinks....


    ps ive watch you play and no doubt you will recoup most of it in a short time?  gl
