I don't like throwing up in my mouth.
He bet $25 into me on the river, I raised to $50 get value from worse King X....which I figure make up the bulk of his range. He re-raises to $75. Its obvious he almost certainly has me beat. But the pot is now $290 dollars after drops and its only $25 to call. I'm getting better than 11.5-1 to call. I make a crying call and he turns over K5 for turned boat.
I know you don't like to throw up in your mouth. I don't either. Its the worst feeling you ever experience in a game.....but I still think the raise by me on the river is the mathematically correct play. If hand like this comes up again, and it surely will, should I play it the same way? Should I feel good about the way I played this hand?
