    % game. You got your money in as a huge favourite, small % of losing. Small % but not impossible. It can and will happen. Suck it up, laugh at the player for donking, punch something, whatever you want but get over it and carry on going. Just take pride in getting your money in as a big favourite and playing well. Be annoyed with yourself when you have played bad not when you have been sucked out on.
    Give it time and you will laugh off bad beats.

    Look back through your hands and see how many of these fishes you have caught! How many have called you to the turn or river then had to put down because they have not hit! You will always get 1 or 2 that will get lucky but they also will give you easy chips more times than not. So dont drown them please I will have them! :)

    I ve had a couple tonight but the 2nd one takes the biscuit. Im in small blind with K 10 D. 3 callers. Flop 5 10 3. I raise  2x BB, BB raises me to 400. Blinds at 100/200. Other two fold, I call. Turn produces a 7. BB goes allin about 2800 chips I have 2050. I call. River shows a J. Yes you guessed it. BB has 5J os. So hits 2 pairs on the river.
    How can she go allin when she only has a pair of 5s on the flop and turn? How bad is that?

    sporny, thats a joke situation cause by joke players. nothing worse then a bad player sucking out on you. i always feel like it is always me!! I tend to look back through the hand and see if i would have played it differently. If the answer is no I pick my jaw up off the desk and move on to the next one!!

    Apparently according to my daughter you can drown fish if you drag them through the water backwards it forces excess water into their gills and they drown. Please don't try this at home!

    Fish get their oxygen directly from the water. They have organs called gills that take oxygen out of the water, just as your lungs take oxygen out of the air. But water can run out of oxygen, just as air can.

    So fish can suffocate in water, which means they can drown in water.

    These drownings occur most often in small ponds that dry up. All the fish that live in the pond are crowded into the remaining water, where they use up all the oxygen in the water, then drown. Fish can also drown if their gills are damaged in a collision with an underwater plant or in a fight with other sea creatures.

    Weather conditions also account for some drownings. For example, when some fish realize that oxygen supply in the water is getting very low, they rise to the surface and suck air into a sac-like organ called the air bladder.

    The fish can then take oxygen out of this air instead of directly out of the water. But in cold weather, when the surface of the water is frozen, the fish can’t reach that air, and so they drown.
