In the last two days, I am really angry about how I played two hands, and yet I won a good amount of money (I mean relative to the blinds, chunk change in reality) on both hands.

First situation, A-Q, flop gave me top pair. Both players left had about $2 left, one $1.75, $10 maximum buy-in at the 5-10 cent table. I idiotically called the first player's all-in, the other player called behind me, and just as I had read I was losing, KK and two pair Q-8, and I hit my ace on the turn and won. I read correctly that the all-in had two pair, and yet I didn't trust my read and just stupidly called anyway. It made me angry for the rest of the night. I mean that kind of bad play will cost me in the long run, and because he had a smaller amount of money I just made a dumb decision anyway. Win or not wasn't the point, I was angry enough at that hand to sit out for about 5 minutes at all of my tables and just think about what I had done, haha.

Then tonight, early raiser minimum raises, I re-raise 3 times his bet with QQ, he re-raises all-in for $4. I request time and let my hands at the other tables sit, and I think to myself ok a lot of times players here min. raise AA to make the pot a bit bigger then trap on the flop. I somehow stupidly called anyway, my read was dead on, he did have AA, and I hit my set on the flop and won. I think I'm even more angry about that hand because I made such a good read and like a moron I acted against it and just called anyway. Grrr...

I have to start trusting my reads better even when it hurts to lay down a hand. I've lost plenty of other hands in the last few days yet I'm most angry about two that I WON, does anyone else have this happen? I mean I care more about how I play than just the results of the actual hands and those were just in my opinion really bad calls, so it frustrates me that in both cases I was smart enough to figure out I was probably beat and just ignored that and called anyway. I have to get better at following through with what I think instead of just hoping that my opponent actually doesn't have what I think they do, haha.
