If you fold, the flop is irrelevant. Just watch how the hand plays out and take good notes on the play of your opponents.<br /><br />Consider this: Are you wrong to fold 6-4 offsuit pre-flop if the flop comes 532 rainbow? Poker or markets, don't engage in results-oriented thinking.<br /><br />"You a size down student when you not seeing the ball?"<br /><br />I don't know about Don, but I'm a size down student if I'm scared by the size I'm trading. This applies to both poker and markets. Hard to trade well if you're not comfortable.<br /><br />That being said, don't take it too far. That is, don't get so comfortable trading small size/playing small limits that you never move up as your account/bankroll/skill improves.<br /><br />"sorry post is a couple of beers deep before springsteen tonight in the dirty jerz."<br /><br />We're sending you a citation for PUI (Posting Under the Influence).<br /><br />:)<br /><br />How was The Boss?Trader Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826070966823094363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709390629316238746.post-18216630936621554332009-05-22T10:37:29.634-04:002009-05-22T10:37:29.634-04:00Hi Don,

Help me obi-don kenobi, you're my only hope. Feeling lost- I'll take any words of wisdom or consolation.
