this is a story that i hope will help define, what i call the the worst play that i have ever seen in poker. but i could be wrong.....here go's... im playing in a $15 tourny with rebuys (big time) lol Im on the button with the antes at 50 and 100 5 people call including the sb and bb the flop comes Ad,Qd,Jd sb bets out 200 everyone folds to me i look down at my 55 and fold. the small blind says to me "come on man call me "look", he turns over Kd,10d ..... he flops a royal flush and bets out..... i have never seen a RF flopped and im sure it will not happen for a long time, but what was this guy thinking? someone was going to draw out on him. i think this would be maybe the best time to do alittle slow playing . i feel this is the worst play that i have ever seen in a poker game. if you have a better story please let me know.... thanks, i just had too share this one

If you think this is the worst play you've ever seen in a poker game, you either: 1) have never played poker before, or 2) don't know what a bad play is.

Yr absolutely right. That's about the worst possible play I've ever heard. Never seen the Royal Fl flopped... actually thought it was an urban legend LOL.He couldn't have even figured that anyone else had a diamond out there, considering the SB had the only two other overcard diamonds. Even someone with a made flush would have to worry a little bit in that situation.He should have checked for a round. The Button might have taken a stab at it, and his smooth call might even induce others who might have a diamond to keep playin...Heck if the board pairs on the turn someone might be thinkin Full House draw to beat out a flush. That's the only way this guy gets any decent money for his hand.

please explain what you mean?????? if you flop the nuts and bet out and ever one folds what have you gained nadayou have missed out on letting someone catch a card that might make them bet. i feel you should check the flop hope that someone bets then call them and then go from their...... i guess a worst thing would be if he folded to a raise>>> your right what was i thinking?????lol

thats not a bad play, when you make a big bet and bet your hand on the flop people don't give you credit for having a monster. He got you to call right? Sooo if it was such bad play, and you called, does that make your call the worst call in history?

He didn't call, he folded 55Shock

That is not a good play no doubt about that, but I have seen a worse one twice.I have seen (in a limit holdem game at the mirage) a player check call with four flopped aces all the way to the river she DIDN'T EVEN RAISE THE RIVER!! (board Ace Ace ten eight duece) and that is worse than betting out with a str8 flush.The other was a friend of mine just calling with the stone cold nuts in a situation where his str8 he made out of a 7 9 was the nuts, the second player raised his river bet and he just called.

please re-read the story i had 55 and folded no one called his bet he got paid the blinds and 3 calls pre flop and 2 cards to go that might of made him some $$$$$ money but that did not happen...so history still stays the same he got nada for the best hand in poker!!!!!

Kilgore, you should keep your writings to bizarre sci-fi stories in crappy softcore porn pulp where it belongs. Clearly you are out of your element. I am a big Vonnegut fan, great screen name.

Next time you should ook down at your 55 before the flop. Playing blind usually isn't recommended.

Nope... you are wrong. He didn't have any callers.I'm remarkably surprised that there's any debate at all on this one.1) Let's say your the dude in first position in that situation, and let's say you instead of having the RFlush you have a pair of Aces w/ a K kicker and a 10 will give you the nutz straight. You bet in early position with FOUR potential callers or raisers, FOUR. Any of which might have two pair, a nutz flush draw, an RFlush draw, a made flush, or the made RFlush. Do you really want to throw your money at that?2) So, now let's say you have the same hand A-K but are Second, Third, or Fourth to act in the situation described where player one has the RFlush and bets., Now, maybe he's bluffing and doesn't have the monster. But you don't either... can you realistically call knowing that even if Player One bluffed, the player after you might realistically have the nutz??? The highest diamond any of the potential callers could have had was the 9. I dunno if I'd feel too comfortable even playing that when someone could have the K or the 10.Why get involved in that pot after there is a first bet? What are you going to call with in that situation? Aces? Two pair? The only call you will get would be from someone who flopped a set and is hoping to pair the board for a boat with two cards to come.Ok... well that's my humble attempt at explaining why you MUST give free cards when you are in early position and have the nutz... with the RFlush I think you must give at least one freebee in any position.
