The mother of all bad beats...

[MAYHEM45]

Ummmmm 1, 2, 3, 4, 5....6 cards? WTF?

[Dodoubled]

Yeah, wow ... not only does he fail to lay down to an OBVIOUS royal flush, but he can't even count, either. What'd ya do, TP? Start partying for the Super Bowl four days in advance? This isn't Jake's, you know.

Ide like to see that chat that followed this hand, that is if u didnt just leave the table and cry somewhere...

[rookette22]

See that's exactly the BAD POINT I was referring to in the LIMIT games. If you had bet more or even gone all in; in NL ; no way he would've called. But in Limit, the players take the chance.

Oh my....I just noticed something....

I'm thinking if you'd have raised him right there, he might have folded...then again in LIMIT ...one never knows. Small price to pay to see it through to the end. He was going for the possible straight...got lucky on the royal flush.

Rook:

Ask yourself this: Why in the world would I want my opponent to fold when I am literally a 99.9% favotire? OF COURSE I didn't raise!!! If you don't understand that, you should seriously stop playing right now and hit the poker books until you do.

The same is true on the turn. Sure, in NL maybe I could have bet more and gotten him to fold, but I didn't want him to fold! I was better than a 97% favorite.

As for his "going for the straight," I think it was more likely that he was going for the flush, but with 2 pair on the board, this is a very, very, very bad idea. He was drawing to 1 out on the turn (and needed two perfect cards on the flop).

[rookette22]

Hmm...sorry. Maybe I just don't understand what the meaning of favorites really is. See what if ....the other guy had AJ too? Wouldn't that make him a fav too? Meaning your percentages wouldn't be 99.9 % anymore, or would it?

And grant it you were fav on flop, but on turn things changed. J on turn....what if the other guy had JJ? Quads...hmmm? Who would be the fav then? Or can that even be determined that way?

I know I must sound foolish but just asking questions so I can better understand it. Not trying to be dumb on purpose.

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?

Send that to PartyPoker and demand your money back for their software fucking up.

[Talking Poker]

Wow... that is messed up. I didn't even notice it, but I think I have seen that before.

I think it's a software glitch with Party. When you have two sets of trips (still only a full house, of course) and it can't figure out which exact card (which suit) to drop from your hand, it just lists them all. Kinda goofy, but I can see how it could happen.
