Personal expirience (bad beat) - fu**ng river

I played $2-4  no-limit holdem yesterday. And from $300 i make $1700 and loose all at once.

My hand: 88

I give preflop raise $20

and one man call

Flop: 2d 5c 8h

so i have three  of kind 8

i make check, and he make raise $40

I just call

next card that came  6

I again check

and he make raise $60

I make reraise $120

He reraise me - all in

I thought that my  hand is best. Cause streight is unbelivable

what i put in his  hand? Elder three of kind, or top pair

So, i call all in

Probably i gues, he had three of kind 5

But on  the rivercame on more 5, and he had 4 of kind, so i loose

Personal experience

When you play at tournament, and the blinds are high. For example you are sitting before button, or on button (small blind, big blind) and you habe hand like 9T or Q7 suited, and some players before you just call big blind. You may robe the pot, with good raise. As rool when blinds are high, and player just call, its like he say - Give a raise and i fold. I have check it a lot of times, and it is work. Just remamber one rule, if you have really bad hand, batter fold. Cause rarely, but you could receive a reraise, so you should be ready fold or call.

Sometimes it is good show that you are bluffing, cause next time players will not belive in your hand, and will check you (and when they will check you should have a monstra for sure ) If you have monstra and few persons all time call your raise, on the river give not too big, but not too small raise. You should show with your raise that you wanna robe pot, and make player with bad hand ( middle pair or etc.) call your raise or even re-raise you. If you will give small raise - mostly you show that you have a hand, and you want receive a call. Too big raise - maybe everyone will think that you are bluffing, but players with middle hand will affraid to loose to many chips, in case when u have hand.

P.S sorry for not good english

Personal Experience

Today have played at $50 000 setalite. (it,s mean the winers of this tourment, take a participation at tourment $50 000 guaranted) I won. But i wanted tell not about it. Today few times i did really crazy things. Like, my hand is 8 5p, i dont know why, but i had a big wish play on this card. So i call on raise 2400 (blinds 300/600) . And what u think? I had a street from flop. Than in next round, i had the same wish to play on 7h 4p, and the same, i again had street from flop. I not often have such crazy wishes, they are rear, but i dont know how to exlaine them.
