I can't count how many times I lost from higher full house, or higher flush, straight... There is one thing that repeats for me, I am thinking how to rise and lure him to pay so I can take all his chips, and in most cases when I think about that I lose all chips! I still remember a hand where I lost a lot of chips, after some time of playing and mostly winning I got K6, little rise, call and flop was KK10!
I thought nice, he raises I call, turn card was 6! Now I have full house and all I am thinking how to take his chips! He raises I reraise, he just calls. Last card was some little not important card, I thought I have him and after all ins he showed K10! He had full on flop!
You can't dodge a bullet every time, and there are hands when you either get busted or you double your chips!
So that's a reason why many poker gamblers tells to play only with high rank hands. With A-2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and some lite that (K-6) it can be situations where while yo get K-6 someone get K-10
For me, i mostly looks how my opponent plays. If i see he calls - reraise with no much time to think, and i have something like K-6 it's a very big probability that he has something bigger.
], but I finally got onto this forum!
