The Definition of Running Bad.
 

I'll take the heat for not raising preflop, but I tend to want to keep the pot small with KQ OOP.

No... when this continously happens to you, (fortunately at mini stakes) is when you are running bad :(

It has been happening a lot. In a $10 Limit O/8 tournament, I get A:c: Kd Qc Qh in the sb and complete after 4 limpers.

Flop comes: A:d: K:c: K:s:

I check, BB Bets, 2 calls, I raise, BB calls, 2 calls.

Turn: Q:s:

I check, BB bets, 2 folds, I call figuring I'm only beat by one hand, so I fear no card.

River 3:s:

I bet, BB raises, I 3-bet, BB caps (I think "no friggin' way"), I call.

BB has A:h: A:s: 2:s: 3:h:

bleh.

Meh.

5 handed 40/80 at 6AM this morning. I got there at 5AM so I was the "fresh" one.

I 3-bet the straddle w/A:d: 9:d:

All call.

FLOP: Q:d: 3:d: 4:d:

Check, BB bets, straddle calls, I raise, BB 3-bets, straddle calls, I cap, all call.

Turn: T:s:

BB bets, Staddle calls, I raise, BB 3-bets, straddle calls, I cap, call, call.

River: T:c:

BB bets, Staddle raises, I fold, BB 3-bets, Straddle 4-bets, BB calls.

BB: 33
Staddle: T3o

California poker rules.

This thread definitely belongs in the Bad Beat section.

You're just pissed because we muscled you into changing this category name.

live game last night. 8 ppl SnG. 5 left. here we go...

SB (tight/passive) - 5,000 ish
BB (loose/calling station) - 6,000 ish
MEEE (donk apparently) - 5,900
4th folded (about 4k chips)
5th folded (about 2k chips)

I get dealt A:s: A:c: UTG. blinds are 100/200 so i go to 650, as im mixing raises alot.

SB calls as does BB.


Flop - A:d: 2:h: 8:d:

Both check, i bet 750, SB folds, BB calls.

Turn Q:s:

BB checks, I bet 1k, he min raises to 2k, i push he calls.

He flips 5:d: 7:d:


River 4:d:

not bad, just the play was funny and thats how im running online.


He then says these exact words - "i knew i had odds, and i felt that i wsa gonna hit"


I said - What the fuck are u on???


Fun huh!

Glad to hear you recovered from this

Keep killin it

The tables are so greasy tonight it's unbelievable. Been 3-4 tabling for 6 hours now. Up ~$1250 now and just around the corner from 2k hands. Tables are too nice to quit but I'm about to turn into a zombie. Also, getting a good start on that impossible FT bonus I just got.

this was a funny little combo
