Thank GOD there were cheap women and beer in CR, or I would have ended up begging for change outside of the Delrey... Plus, I had a GREAT last day, and actually ended up a little for the trip...
I'm at a VERY loose/aggressive table, where no one respects any bets, PF raises are $15+... Basically, a normal live 1/2 NL game...
I'm on the button w/

Alll of a sudden, my buddy bets $50... ??? Was he chasing the flush too...??? Same deal as before... call call call... it gets to me, and I'm trying to figure out what the hell these guys are playing with... I assume my friend has 5something... possibly J5 (he was in a blind)... I don't mind losing the money to him... at least I'll get a couple dances and drinks out of it... I think there's at least one other guy on the 5... maybe another flush draw, and a couple bozos who are total calling stations... the kind of guy who thinks his A9 or 44 is gonna hold up...
At this point, I'm already counting my money, and I call (which I think was, by far, the worst mistake I'd made to that point...)...
pot is about a zillion dollars, I'm figuring out how many Coronas it'll buy (even though they taste like cat pee, it's better than their local beers), when the dreaded

I would love to curse, but this server bleeps everything out... so CRAP...
They start betting like crazy people, and I have to throw away my GD hand... Turns out one had a 10 high flush (would've taken all his money), one had J4 (the PF raiser), another had J10o (what an ass), and my buddy had A5, and was screaming that these aholes called all those bets with crap... Instead of screaming, I decided to just give away the rest of my money a couple hands later on megatilt (posted on another thread)...
Boy, what a crappy way to lose a ~$900 pot... Obviously my buddy wouldn't have folded, but what are the odds that any of these calling stations would've folded 2pr on the turn to a large raise by me...?
Any thought how to play this better would be appreciated...
