We are kind of committed after betting that amount, but even with those odds we're rarely good. Another option I like is CRAI turn if he likes to float at all. Lets him bluff his air, valuecut himself and he rarely folds his draws if he bets them. Yeah first hand river play is pretty bad.

EVER. 2nd hand. Standard. Don't worry about it. A habit I've gotten into is after the chips go in the middle, I make a quick check to see if I got it in ahead. And then I look away. This allows me to distance myself from the results. While my bankroll cares about the results, I want to make sure that I STOP caring. Looking away and not watching the cards peel allow me to start creating that separation. Practice this over and over again and it starts hurting less. 3rd hand - two ways to go about this. 1st is checking it back like you do with a showdownable hand. 2nd option is to bet-fold the flop. Hard to say without knowing how this particular 35/4 player plays postflop. Being results oriented, you should be thankful that this villian is a moron and saved you $$. keep staying positive. you know you can win, you have the skills to win. just don't try to force yourself to "win." well, it’s good you recognize how poorly that river play was on the first hand. 21/6 players DO NOT BLUFF with their stack.
