Top pair foolishness

Last night, I was playing fine until hand 52. For some reason, I convinced myself my top pair could win, even though I had a weak kicker and there were two other players still in the hand. Like an imbecile, I bet $12,000 on the turn. One opponent raised $3,900 to go all in, the other called, and I called too. Not only was my hand beaten by a top pair which had a better kicker, both top pairs were beaten by a two pair which had been made on the turn. I lost $23,000 on the hand, taking my stack down to $9,100. Even though my stack wasn't crippled, I was psychologically crippled, and hit the felt not long afterwards.

Note to self: no big bets on the turn for the time being.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 67 hands and saw flop:
 - 5 out of 9 times while in big blind (55%)
 - 5 out of 10 times while in small blind (50%)
 - 33 out of 48 times in other positions (68%)
 - a total of 43 out of 67 (64%)
 Pots won at showdown - 5 of 13 (38%)
 Pots won without showdown - 1

delta: $-40,000
balance:  $4,560,712
