Everyone knows this, yet people still do it. Why? Cause you always get caught up in the moment. Well, at least that's why I still do it. Luckily, you can't lose that much playing limit HORSE, though that's also exactly the reason why I start playing HU hold em or omaha when I'm steaming. Today wasn't too bad though, I just had one game where my opponent was down to 200 some chips, and he came back to win through some seemingly unfair beats.

At least with Hi/Lo games, most times a suckout is just losing half the pot. If an ace and a 5 came up, I would've lost the whole thing.
Haha, when I'm super tilting, I go down to the $2 games and play as many heads up games as I can. I just raise raise raise, and hope to suck out as many times as I can. It always makes me feel better when 3 8 beats A K :)
Oh poker, how I hate you yet still come crawling back every time.
