Vade 0 Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Lost 3 buyins, which has never happened beforeSucky thing is, I don't think I would have played any of these hands differentlyHand 1) In the other thread. My AA lost to a QQ with TT along for the rideHand 2) AA again, 5x raise, two callers4-4-3 on the flop, I bet the pot, the BB calls8 on the turn, making two hearts and two spades on the board. I go all in here because I don't want to give a free draw to a flush, and the BB has...33Owie, but I can understand thatThen Hand 3: The only one that I know I played wrongA-7 spades limp from early positionFlop comes 8-9-10 with 1 spade. I like this flop, even though it's dangerous so I bet the pot (60 cents) one callerA spade comes on the turn, I believe it is the 3I now have a premium nut flush draw to go along with my openended straight draw I bet the pot and get raised the minimum. OK, hands that come to mind here are a set, either of 3's or 8's slowplayed (though 9's and 10's are of course possible also) or top pair with a spade draw or another 7 or a Jack are the hands that come to mind (though I dismiss the last two based on the fact that he raised)Basically I think it's either a set, or a lower flush draw with top pair. Two pair is a possibility that comes to mind as wellRiver is a 6 of diamonds. Based on the hands that I think he could be holding I move in thinking that well, the only hands that he could beat me with are J-7 or J-QUnfortunately it is J-Q, capping off a terrible day.Now 30 dollars may not seem like a lot to some of y'all but keep in mind I started with a 45 dollar bankroll that I moved past 300 recently so this is a 10% loss, pretty damn major.Obviously I've shut it down for the day, I just want to see any thoughts or opinions. Also painfully obvious is the fact that I am pretty awful at putting my opponents on hands. Part of that is because of poor attention span sometimes...Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites
wrto4556 0 Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I have a bad attention problem, too. I read the top and bottom of your post. Sorry. :-) Just stay focused and think of Sklansky bucks. Link to post Share on other sites

monoatomic 0 Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I had a day like this yesterday.I burned through $100.00 bucks in little under 2 hours on a 1/2 table. I got beat by runner runner something or 1 or 2 outers about 6 or 7 times. Holding AJ flop comes down A J 7. I push all in someone calls with...K7. Turn 7 river K. That was one buy in.Holding AQ, flop comes down A Q 5 I bet he flat calls. Turn is a blank I bet the pot he against flat calls. River is a 4. I push all in called. Lo and behold he decided to cold call one almost pot size bet, and then a pot sized bet with pocket 4's.I then dropped in over at Party, and proceeded to get blinded down almost 40 dollars after I went 43 hands IN A ROW without seeing a playable one. I was down to 12 dollars for what I set my limit at what I can lose for a day.Finally though I get AQ in mid position and raise and take down the blinds. In my next BB I have J8 and get to check and amazingly the flop comes down JJ8.That hand led there to me coming back and taking back my entire losses for the day so don't feel bad. Things will turn around for you soon enough.Edit* Sorry I wrote the hand down wrong. I started writing a beat that involved AA while playing and when I came back to finish it I finished the story with another hand I was involved in. My mistake.And no I don't have to lie about my hands to get sympathy, I was simply relaying to him the fact to keep plugging away and that regardless of him losing he shouldn't beat himself up over it Link to post Share on other sites

mrgibb 0 Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I was playing at a MTT at the Hard Rock in Tampa. $100.00 buy in. We were down to about 15 people and 9 places payed out. I was down to about middle stack. I was on the button with the table short handed with 7 players. The table was playing tight since we were reseated. So for about the first 10 min I was able to steal the blinds. The blinds were at 500/1000, I was on the button. Everyone around folds and I raise up to 5000. Small blind folds and big blind calls.The flop comes down King , 6 , 10:spade: So I tripped my kings on the flop. Big Blind bets out 1,500. At this point I put him on King/Ten or Tens. At this point I move all in and he calls.I turn over my King / King and he turns overJACK , Ten :heart:CAN YOU FREAKING BELIEVE THAT?When he turnd that over I just looked at him. The whole table started to give him shit about it. He had me covered and I just kept staring a hole into his head.The turn gave a Ace This is when my heart hit the bottom of my body. I just knew he would suck out on me. "Please pair the board. Don't let this guy suck out on me. Don't drop a heart unless it pairs the board."River is a 3 :heart:"Do you know the odds of that happening? I mean give me a break, You have me covered in chips and then your risk your stack with Jack/Ten? With a king on the board?"After I said that I just got up and walked out of the casino.I was about ready to go Bill Fillmaff on him.Well, tomarrow is another day.... Link to post Share on other sites

GTKID 0 Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Can't even repeat what happened correctly. I'm sick of seeing people complain about "bad" beats, at least the KK thing was ridiculous, but asking why people play poker and being pissed he made that call is stupider then the call itself. He made a very unprofitable play, you made a very profitable play, get over it, its odds for a reason, you WILL lose unless they are drawing dead, I guarantee you. Everyone acts like there good hands are never supposed to lose, so the odds should just never pan out against you? That happening is even more unlikely then the "suck out" someone got. Everyone just try to put your money in with the best and get over when it doesn't win, the second all your money goes in with the best, YOU DO WIN. You can quote me on that cause its brilliant.

flyingmoose 0 Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 You botched hand 2 a little bit, too. After he called on the flop, warning bells should be going off in your head. What is he calling with on that flop? Unless players at your stakes regularly call large bets with overcards or straight draws on paired boards, it's time to try and keep the pot small. I'm not saying you should have folded, because given the action it looks like you're ahead. But this is a situation where if you do get called with your big bets, you're probably very far behind.Hand 3: Why bet the pot on the turn? He called on the flop, and given that board, he probably isn't going anywhere, so you're just charging yourself more than you need to for the river card. After his cold call on the flop, you should have him on a a set, a made straight, or a good straight draw. You're beat, and you can't bluff the guy out of it, so you really just want to see the river as cheaply as possible. Betting the pot isn't a great way to do that. Link to post Share on other sites
