I always assume people are bluffing which puts me in a lot of akward situation when playing poker. I guess I have to learn the hard way by loosing. And as Doyle Brunson once said:

It have costed me a brand new Cadillac to become a good poker player.

Guess I haven’t lost enough yet.

I had AK in the pocket. I raise big pre flop, one player called. Flop comes up: AKK. I checked, player checked, turn: 2, I bet big, player called, what’s he’s got I wounder. Does he have AK too in the pocket? Or does he have AA? Or perhaps QQ? I put him on AK and hope to get a split. River comes up: 6, I go all in to represent AA, player called of course. I show my AK, and to my big surprise player shows AA. God damn it. I actually tried to represent the other player’s hand.

Well that’s poker and it was not much money involved but I did feel a little crippled afterwords. If I had checked the river the player would probably had moved all in and I had to call. So it was a bet from the start. Next time I would do the same thing, having AA in the pocket with that flop, I mean what’s the odds?
