Pitiful Play rewarded


Recommended Posts

I don't mind bad beats... it's part of poker BUT when someone makes a HORRIBLE play and is rewarded, that really peeves me!300 player online at UB, $10 buyin. I'm sitting at average chips (about 8000) with 75 players left (I think it paid to 60).I'm on BB. Miracle! I have AsAh (my favorite 2 Aces, I even have a tattoo of them on my shoulder!)Everyone folds to a middle position guy, who raises to 1200. He has about 14k chips. Everyone folds to me, I raise to 3000.Note: My thought on this is I was prepared to take a risk for a full double-up to be set up well to go deep into the money. Early in a tourney I would all-in right there and take it down preflop.Middle position calls, I think "cool, KK/QQ or AK". Flop comes complete rags, a rainbow 3 4 9. I think for a second... does he have ace 2? Ace 5? that's an inside straight draw, he won't draw to it. Did he raise with 33/44/99? If so then it doesnt' matter, I'll call an all in anyway. If he hit a 2-outer to outdraw me then he deserves my chips...I all-in, hoping that he has QQ or AK or KK. He calls... with 5 2 offsuit!!5 freaking 2 offsuit... RAISING preflop and then calling a reraise from the BB!Oh well, I have 2 of his 8 outs.. he only has 2 chances at 6 outs. I'm happy.Of course, I hit my trips on the turn (ace) which gives him his straight. I'm out.Again, yeah I know I took a risk not all-inning preflop... but it would have been so much nicer to have lost to an actual HAND instead of complete dumb luck!
