"i thought you had nothing..."


Recommended Posts

New poster, just wanted to share one of my truly bad beat stories...about 5 people playing in a home game, blinds .25/.25, i'm sitting with about 45, up $25.player to my right has about 25 in chips, player to my left has about 35.I'm UTG with 46spades, i limp in.BTW, i have been playing very conservative up to this point.Button raises to $2, BB calls, i call.Flop: 2c 3s 5s... i flop the nut straight with an open ended straight *flush* draw.BB checks, i slow play and check, button bets $2.BB raises to $7.saweeeeeeeeeeeetI raise another $7 to a total of $14.The button folds, and the BB w/ an exasperated sigh says, "i'm all in."i call instantly, and he flips over 99..... 99!!!???Turn: 9River: 3I don't know... it's not everyday that i get beat by a runner runner... that is until i started playing on pokerstars :0)

granted, i needed to get lucky being in that hand.. but to say i didn't "belong" in that hand is absurd. Standard raises, and some people like to play suited connectors in position, hell, even out of position. Great way to make a lot of chips/money if you get lucky. No one expects those low cards to be played with a raise in front.And i don't see how you can't consider that to be a bad beat. :x

Couple of clarifications:Raise was to $2 or 4x the BBTheir stacks were pretty deep, when the guy doubled through me, i was left with something like 15... so he had about 30.I don't question my play at all.. i believe i played the hand perfectly, obviously getting extremely lucky on the flop.Anyone disagree? :club:

Disagree with the minimim flop reraise. either smooth-call or reraise more. the minimum reraise screams you have a very strong hand. it worked this time, but a player paying attention will not pay you off on minimum raises.everything else looks finedaniel
