home game tonight...

[junYUN]

more than just a bad beat, continual bad beats from novice players in my home game today just had me steaming. first beat im dealt 89s so i lead out 3XBB on the button, after 2 limpers to me. everyone folds except the guy to my right (who is drunk as a skunk) and we see a flop. flop comes 67T rainbow.. cha-ching i hit my straight. i lead out for a pot sized bet, he raises me -- i re-raise him to put him all in (i had him covered 2 to 1 in chips). he calls, turns over 67o, tun is a 7, river a blank. that had me kinda steaming. later on with my stack having been whiddled pretty low from blinds, plus that beat...i'm down to about 500 chips, move them in with A7s. i get called by this chick who it's only her 2nd time playing poker, she turns over 75o. of course a 5 hits on the flop and the rest are blanks. so, since it's a rebuy tourney i decide to rebuy, and first hand of the session i'm dealt TT. i lead out in MP 3XBB, two callers. flop comes 552. i figure at this point im most likely ahead, so i lead out for a pot sized bet after it's checked to me. both call. turn is an 8, checked to me again, make anotehr pot sized bet, and once again both call. river is a J. first guy goes all in (i have him covered by about 500 chips) second guy folds, and i fgirue i really have no choice BUT to call (it was only about 300 chips more). of course he turns over J6o. at this point i'm really steaming. about 5 or 6 hands later i get dealt A9s, real short stack, and i push them in. the girl to my left calls me (again) and i figure i probably have her beat pretty badly. guy two seats to my right (at this point he's actually seated next to me -- the drunk guy had been knocked out). he's probably the next strongest player besides myself, and he counts out his chips (got me covered by a long shot) and he goes all in after me. the girl calls his bet putting her all in, cards turn over i'm ahead of both of them. she has Q6o, he has QTs. flop of course gives him a ten, and he takes me down.

i wanted to beat my head into the wall.....god i hate playing novice players.
