Probert Warned Me About These... Pokerroom

[Mephisto 15]

Hey, you get suckered by a "good" month (in small stakes terms, of course). At times, I've played wreckless. The following could be considered one of those times, but my dinner was just about finished and I took a stab. But the number of times "creepy" beats like this occur can only leave one wondering. The following has happened 3 times in recent weeks, and I had my ASS all-in in each case, typically giving back most of days' worth of earnings. THANKFULLY, to control my occasional wreckless urges, I only bring $10 to the table so I'm not tossing a C-Note on the table on a lark.

 

High-end full houses shouldn't get beaten by 4 o'kind on the river this often.

Have they given back your "chat" privilege?

You suck and poker and suck even more at life.

My GOD and I thought I remembered things a long time!

I witnessed some of those beatdowns and will nevah forget. LMFAO.

 

[Giants Fan 85]

It's called a bad beat. Happens in RL poker too.

 

You know what the odds are pre-flop, pair of twos against big slick? Pair of two's has the advantage ... says the odds.

52% to win against anything other than a higher PP. Ass.

[nobody 2,031]

Does this even count as a bad beat? You went all in with the worst hand. Then you got lucky and pulled ahead. When you went all-in, you had about a 4% chance of winning, no?

[kutulu 1,541]

[Cdub100 3,366]

I didn't read your post but let me guess you had the best hand until the one or two cards that could of saved him came up.

Did you go "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

[Giants Fan 85]

So .. would you feel more comfortable going all in with a pair of 2's rather than big slick?

Not really. Just as you said ... you might as well flip a coin.

Of course not. The quality of a pre-flop all-in hand is determined by how good it is relative to other hands a person might go all-in with. A pair of two's doesn't dominate any hand that an opponent might reasonably go all-in with, and is dominated by any higher pair. Big slick dominates Ax and Kx, has a solid advantage against any other unpaired hand, and is basically even with every pair from 22 to QQ.

[Giants Fan 85]

So do you think suited conectors are undervalued?

[nobody 2,031]

Not really. Just as you said ... you might as well flip a coin.

 

I don't think I ever said that, but he went all in after the flop, he had a pair of Kings versus three Queens. He is a severe underdog at this point. Only two cards in the deck can help him. He happened to hit one.

[Giants Fan 85]

That's why it's called "gambling".

[nobody 2,031]

That's why it's called a "non-sequitor"

[Giants Fan 85]

Touché.

Exactly.

 

Now I was on the other end of one in a sit n go at Hollywood Casino in Tunica this past weekend. I ended up winning it with my buddy finishing 2nd.

 

Down to 4 left, top 3 cash...I had a decent chip lead on 2nd place...3rd and 4th were not all that great....blinds were 500-1000. I had about 6K and on the button. Not two seconds after saying I was going to go a bit more conservative and let one of the short stacks make their play and get out...I get dealt KK.

 

I push 3000 out there...SB folds...BB calls the additional 1500 and flips over AA.

 

Thankfully I flopped a K and the trips held up....just killed the other guy.

[Giants Fan 85]

Flip of a coin.

I went all-in because I was lazy and the flop contained nothing (at that point) that could beat me short of his having PP Qs. Unfortunately for me, he had PP Qs.

 

I didn't go all-in knowingly against the three Qs.

[hoytdwow 202]

You can't lose if you don't play!

[kutulu 1,541]

That sucks for you. On the bright side, I just won the tourney I played.

I wouldn't call that a bad beat. It would have been a bad beat for him had you ended up winning after he got his 3rd Queen.
