Almost lost my mind

Had my worst day in my history of playing on bodog. So went to AP to play way higher than I'm supposed to and risk going busto. What a relief this guy flipped over such a crap hand.

Well good thing you did not take my prior advice and start giving more respect to re-raises - lol. As I get exposed to higher levels of play I am surprised at the level of aggression with what we mere ABC players (and the books) would just call a "decent' starting hand. I watched n2k play in the 8k bounty ($50 buyin) last night and it was the same way. A large percentage of the players would make big 6-10x bb) bets preflop and raise, re-raise, to the river with any "decent" starting hand. A mere standard 3x bb preflop raise was pretty much guaranteed to get 3 or more callers. It seems you really have to be a gambler at the higher stakes, which really should not be a surprise if I think more about it, remembering that this is poker! - lol. And this really shows why the bankroll recomendations are so much larger then I would expect would be needed for these higher dollar games. Good Luck going forward - maybe this is the start of your turnaround!

Due to my stack size with those blinds I have to play fast to justify my reraise but his call really is horendus there in my books.
