Hi there,

I feel as though i am playing really well but i keep running into monster hands.

I'f I flop a set they stay in it even though i have bet the pot or check raised them to hell and they end up getting a fullhouse.

I have had A/A 4 times today get cracked by jacks setting.

Its not like i'm starting with k/10 and then whine when an ace hits thats not what i'm talking about. Its like i gat into a position when i am 85% favored (i end up checking afterwards with a calculator) and they pop the only out they have.

If it was once or twice i can see it but golly, it seems to happen whenever i have a big hand.

is there anything to do in this situation? tighten up even further? I am already playing way too few hands because of this. Has this happened to anyone else?

The one that triggered this post is this I had a/k in SB i raise 3 x BB he calls. Flop comes A / 7 / 8 I bet 3/4 pot. he raises. I get suspicious but call. K on the turn. I make another bet for about 1/2 the pot he calls. 8 flops on the river. he goes all in. I call thinking he may have a set but at this point i am pot committed anyways. he shows 7/8 and has full house.

Maybe its that i should have gotten away from the hand when he raised. I dont know. This seems to happen ALL THE TIME TO ME!!!!!!!!
