one-outer on final table of fulltilt WPT/WSOP(C) winner's choice tourney...

[Talking Poker]

That sucks.

This won't make you feel any better, but that's not REALLY a one outer. I mean, it is, but he had 5 chances to hit it. And there are other ways he could have won the hand too, like by making a straight or a flush. It happens.

But yes, you were a pretty big favorite to win that hand. Without actually running the numbers, I'll guess you were a solid 90% favorite...

[Talking Poker]

Man... just rereading this now - the payouts and whatnot. That sure does sting.

[ChipFish]

Closer to 80/20 preflop, or 90/10 lose on the flop...
Depends where all the money went in.

How did you get so far without couting "All" the outs?
As TP already said, it's not a 1 outer...

Does suck though... Tough one.

Edit to add: I ran the numbers cuz 90 fave sounded way too off.

[Talking Poker]

Did you take into account that one of the remaining queens was gone? I was considering that with my estimate...

[ChipFish]

Did not......

So when did the money go in?

[Talking Poker]

We have to assume preflop, or there would really be nothing to complain about. And given the stack sizes of the two players in the hand, I don't see how it wouldn't have gone all in preflop given their hole cards.

That does suck, I thought u only played real small buy-ins BDM ?

i qualified thru a $6 sat.

fulltilt has a great 2-tier, *non-rebuy-non-turbo*, sat structure for big events (WPT/WSOP/big guaranteed)...$4/$6-->$26-->$216 (WPT/WSOP qualifier or the weekly/monthly 'big' cash guaranteed)
thats REAL tourney NLHE poker, not turbo/rebuy slots bullcrap.

im just kicking myself for having wasted my last (first in poker) year on stars et al...i should have been playing on fulltilt right from the get-go.

yeah, sorry, i was again, a tad dazed last night, and didnt explain the hand.

this took place just after we reached final table. we did go allin preflop. the gent in question and i at that point were both at cca 15k in chips, with an M of cca 5-6 or so, in 6th and 7th place at the time. he raised cca 3xBB, and i just reraised him allin on the spot, everyone else getting out of the way.

pockets get turned up, one other person on the table says: "oh, i folded a Q".

then the flop hits, and i feel like in one of those cliched movie scenes when everything slows down around u before, or right after, a big explosion.

i know, strictly technically speaking it may not be a one-outer as there would have been a chance of a freak straight or flush on the board. in fact, id much rather have seen that, to tell u the truth.

anywho, now that ive slept on it, all i can say is, c'est la vie, ill be back in the WC as early as this saturday.

btw, been playing on FTP now for almost a month since transferring over from stars, and im loving it. IMHO much more serious tourney NLHE poker at all levels, esp my favorite cheap WPT/WSOP entry sats. this was in fact my third WC (didnt do bad first two times, cca in top 20%). overall, i can now continue to learn and improve my game after escaping all that useless rebuy roulette nonsense on stars.
