Yea I did a phone interview with them.I'm 0/3 in WSOP events so far, so nothing good yet. Would play the $1500 tomorrow, but we're going out to eat for Eddie's birthday, so my next event will probably be the $2000 on Thursday. I'm gonna try to play alot of $5/10/20 PLO there this week though.

Re: Dentist's hand: it was pretty obvious to me that you would only post that hand history if one of the guys had aces or kings. 
Actually I'm really pissed I didn't have the fortitude to fold.. I've laid down queens correctly on numerous occasions and I should've thought this one through more.. unless you have no respect for your opponent, you have to fold there..Notice what the cold-caller did with just "calling" instead of pushing to maximize his chances at isolation.. that's classic STRENGTH.. I do that all the time if I wouldn't mind a call. Should've been able to see through it.Surprised Assani posted a definitive call response... I think calling there is really not the right play####.

Will do....I'm not letting myself play anything higher than $2000, but I'm trying to play as many of the $2000 and $1500 events as possible. As I said, I'd like to play on Thursday if possible(and if I can wake up in time).Sweating. Keep giving us updates as to which live events you're in in the WSOP.
I couldnt put you on a hand here either.
You think that's funny? This was from one of MikeReagans poker sweat threads:

If he gets called out he is joking of course, but in the back of his mind he is hoping someone is dumb enough to do it. The guy is a scammer plain and simple.You think that's funny? This was from one of MikeReagans poker sweat threads:I'm not sure if he was joking or not.eagles2007 said:

There's more ways to make AK and JJ than AA or KK. You are getting more than 3:1. With no read I think call is correct here. I agree with your read of his play if you know the player but since you have no read then you have to make the statistical play IMO.Actually I'm really pissed I didn't have the fortitude to fold..

Try a couple $1 SNGs to get back that feeling of winning!
This is solid advice. I'll never admit to being a pro, but I have made my fair share when the competition was weak. One thing I did was to evaluate how I did at the end of the night (or when I wake up in the morning if it's very late) and have a short journal entry -- either about poker or what was on my mind during the poker session. Looking back, they were never more than 2-3 sentences. What I did was had a rule that if one of those 2-3 sentences was a negative remark about my play or emotional state, I would spend the following day reviewing hands and talking about poker for a bit, then relaxing with friends. I would not play that day. I am not saying this is a great system or what should be done by all poker players, but what I am saying is that you need to focus on yourself instead of the cards, and act accordingly. You've made it this far, you know what you are doing.Best of luck,westy
Why does this hand get to you? Seems to me like you made the best play.
I think one of my best strengths is never showing emotion(when playing live) and I very rarely let beats affect my play(live or online). With that said, EVERYONE gets frustrated by hands like that imo, and I try to be honest in this thread.
I think it's because he knew that he did everything right and it still didn't matter.
I don't doubt that min-raising gets you some action. This hand isn't a great example of it, though. I only question whether you get *enough* extra action across your range of holdings to offset the action you give up (e.g., frequently winning blinds/antes; overrepping the bottom of your range) by foregoing bigger raises. It's not at all clear to me that you do. But I'm trying to learn, so, please, keep the examples coming.
