    This might belong inthe bad beat section but...

    I was playing $2/4 NL Heads Up. We each had about $500 at the table. We have been battling for about an hour. Anyway, I was dealt QQ and he raised 3x BB. I followed with a pot sized re raise and he went all in. Without much hesitation I called. He showed A3 suited. He caught an A on the river and won like a $1,000 pot. I was so pissed I almost broke my monitor. I made a few comments about the guy's lousy play. He made some remarks suggesting I was a weak player. He then said "you only play small pots."

    What exactly did he mean by that? And is it bad to only play small pots?

    Yup, he had you pegged as a small-ball player and wouldn't gamble preflop.

    Do I need to change my style of play? Or just chalk this up as a bad beat?
