since i restarted playing sum cash games, i get super paranoid when players are calling me down and find myself way ahead when i check the river in similar situations. it's smarter to play it that way. but, it sux when you coulda value bet and probably get called from a calling station.

try not to miss the next BIG game. i like bigger prize pools. ;)
