Playing bad on tilt

What sites do you play at, what is your nickname and what is the highest limit you willplay for?

Honestly, I don't know how you guys can say it's an awful hand. Especially if it's suited. Don't tell me you guys never played J9 suited before....it's basically a similar type hand. More often than not, you're going to end up mucking it and paying the BB.

Personally, I hardly ever play 10 8 off unless I'm in the blinds. I would play 10 8 suited just about every chance I could limp into a pot in limit. In NL, those hands are generally thrown away, depending on position and chip stack of you and your opponents.

Sure I get angry if I run into a bad beat, even to a point of expressing my anger to my opponent, which I know I should never do. But I can't see letting it impact my choice of hands, which just seems crazy to me. I don't have all that many strengths as a player, a bunch of weaknesses (short-handed being the worst), but this is just not a problem for me.

Funny........I was just watching the rerun of Bad Boys of Poker on WPT and I was going to post that Gus Hansen's call with 10 8 suited to Antonio E's 77 never stops cracking me up. Antonio's "I don't get it, I just don't get it" is classic.

Finding this 10 8 stuff in this thread is kind of freaky though.

I would say in limit or NL you are hoping for a PERFECT miracle flop with 10 8 (suited or not). You will almost never have the nuts, and you always have to be careful with it.

If the situation is right I'll limp with J/9 suited, but almost always fold 10/8. You are right, there's no real difference, but having that face card, low as it as may be, gives me just that much more confidence. Not really rationale when I type it out in black and whaite, but there it is.

10-8 suited is good for a straight and a straight only.... most of the time
