Look At This

RIght- but like i said - I played with him for an hour - I was 90% sure he was stone cold bluffing- and was right - it just worked out for him - if i can find it ill post the hand i won all his chips back on and prove to u ALL he does is bluff.

Any other player i would have been pushing back- figuring either way all the chips were going in, thinking any other opponent would have sumthin like AK or AQ or some other strong hand.

Ok. That's fine. So you take the calculated risk, which, to you in this situation, is worth it. What this also means is that, when he hits, you have to say, "Well I accomplished my goal, which was slow-playing so he would give me his chips, and I lost. I could have avoided it, but I didn't."

And any complaining isn't justified, because of the risk that you could have avoided.

Again, I know this is after a long series of beats. But it seems that this is the kind of situation you want to avoid after a long day of bad beats. If you have the chance to take down a nice pot AND avoid tilt, isn't that better than making a bigger gamble and risking getting really pissed off?

I dont get really pissed off about that stuff or go on tilt - i did end up finishing 5th in this, so im not gonna make a too aggressive play to avoid tilt since i dont feel i really ever tilt anymore.


I guess i can't complain , but i still think its a pretty bad (crazy) beat.

I'd raise the turn as well. Since he raised preflop and on the flop I'd put him on top pair at least. Reraising on the turn in that situation, after he's invested so much money into the pot, usually doesn't make an average/bad player fold when they have at least top pair with solid kicker. So by reraising on the turn, you still might win that 40k pot if he calls off his chips with TPTK or two pair. If he does fold, oh well. Still a nice pot. I'm not saying you played it wrong because you did have a solid read on the guy and went with it. You were right on with your read, just got really unlucky.

screw the turn... i would have put a raise in on the flop.. because i would assume he hit a piece of that flop and may pay my set off.

assuming i hadnt rasied on the flop... the turn is a MUST raise.. especially when the club draw came out..

i dont see how you guys say it isnt that draw heavy.. straight draw on the turn and a flush draw.. not to mention a straight draw on the flop.. (what, he cant possibly have a hand like QJ? JT?)

just my 2 cents, but i think you played this hand pretty bad overall.

[JDMcNugent7]

i guess u missed the part where i said ALL he did was bluff. I knew he hit None of that flop, and was completely right, I dont think i needed to protecthis 4.7 chance of winning that hand.

That's fine.... but you're not allowed to complain when someone sucks out on you if you don't protect your hand.

Think about it.

I'll say again:
