[X-Longshot-X]

Keep grinding.

wow one day if im ever bored enough out of my mind and care about results more than decisions i should just post all the beats from a single day and maybe ppl will stop posting dumb little ones that happen ALL THE TIME in poker. seriously its math, ur Supposed to lose favorites a certain amount of the time.

[eejit101]

fold K8 os preflop?

and i do agree with JD on this one

[X-Longshot-X]

200 more into a 800 pot? and the guy behind is probably gonna call too....so im basically getting 5:1 on my money, and assuming i hit, im gonna get paid off big. He wont ever be able to put me on something like K8 either. Im 99% sure calling here is the right play but i could be wrong.

[Talking Poker]

But based on what you just wrote, in order for you to "hit," you are going to need to flop 2 pair or better, yes? Because you're folding easily on any K or 8 high flop, right?

Do you see how this doesn't add up?

Also, from your example: 800/200 = 4. Not 5.

[Talking Poker]

Some people simply refuse to learn/accept this. I actually just tried explaining this the other day, yet here we are.

"Standard."

[drewjax]

He defended his big blind to a min. raise.

Got all the money in, and got sucked out on the river to get knocked out of a tourney. Thats what a bad beat is.

Why cant people just post something like.......
"tough break" or "that sucks, tough beat"
OR
dont post anything at all

Cut the kid some slack!

Haters

[melioris]

I was tempted to post something along these lines, but then I got thinking. This time longshot played it well and got beaten. Yes, this happens all the multiple times every day to me. But yes, it is a bad beat, and if he wants to post a standard bad beat in the "Bad Beat" section, shit what do I care? Isn't it the point of this section?

Instead of turning the bad beat section into a dick measuring contest of who has the worst beat or lost the most money to a bad beat, maybe we should turn this into a "You don't understand math if you post here more than once a month" section or better yet, get rid of this section entirely. But running the kid down, in this instance, seems a little spiteful to me.
