I was tilting at a $50 table. I had been taking a couple of bad beats and had lost most of stack. My buddies were in the backyard waiting for me to join them for a beer and bbq. So I decided to throw my chips in there and let off some steam. MP2 is a solid, tight player. I've played a couple of hundred hands with him.

drebreton bets $4.
CHIPBEAVER raises [$8].

If only I had been playing with more chips, I thought for a second. But, as I came to my senses, I knew I would never had played this way with a full stack.

'Nice catch," MP2 wrote. I knew he hated me. I left the table and went for a beer. Cheers, folks!

You know you misplayed it but he misplayed it pretty badly himself.
