The mother of all bad beats...

[Talking Poker]

Well, with two Jacks on the board and one in my hand, I find it very unlikely he would be holding 2 Jacks. There are only supposed to be 4 in the deck, so if that's what he had, Party would be getting a very nasty email from me.

And yes, if he was holding exactly AJ as well, then we would be in a guaranteed chop situation. But he wasn't. He was holding KhQh, which I was a 99.9% (literally) favorite over.

Only if he was holding a hand like AK or AQ could he have a legitimate 3 outs on me (still a huge underdog), and because he lead at the AAJ flop, I think it's pretty unlikely he had either of those hands. If he was holding literally ANY other hand though, he was going to need TWO cards to beat me (like if he was holding QQ he would need to catch both remaining Queens to win), so I knew I was a massive favorite.

The point is, with my hand and the flop AND on the turn, I was holding the nuts. There were no two cards he could be holding better than mine, which means I WANT him to put money in the pot, NOT to fold.

Make sense?
