I am the Bad Beat King!
 

I put this Bad Beat on today. I am not proud of it. Anyone think I should have folded the flop? I really only had 15BB in by the turn and had to call a capped round. I think KQ and myself should have folded. However I was having a slightly down session and decided to see the turn, and the river if the turn gave me 4 to a flush. I would have won if I made the flush also. So I have a gutshot straight draw and a backdoor flush draw. Otherwise I am drawing dead. I was about 5BB short of having pot odds for the call. Chances are if I make either of my hands I win. If the board pairs I was thinking I beaten by a boat (which turned out to be true). Its nice to see one of my Bad Beats win for a change! heh.

haha, very nice beat. you probably should have laid it down though, what if someone was sittin on AQ, AK? you coulda been drawing dead, that's a really bad play but hey it pays off sometimes.

ive lost all respect for you. i hope you made that up as a joke or something...

Nobody Should Respect Me!
 

Disclaimer: I write a Poker blog and play alot and pretent I know what I am doing, but nobody should respect or even listen to me much.

I know it was a REALLY bad play. All I can say in my defence is I was having a bad session and said "WTF! I am going to go for it!". It was the last hand I was going to play on that table for the night. I needed to get some sleep for work and things like that which get in the way.

If you think you were dissapointed how do you think SoonersRule2 felt?

Haha great excuse... Did you ever think that it only takes 1 of those hands every other hour to move you from 3 BB/hr to about -3 BB/hr??

don't get me started on BB/hr again...

I feel you man:

huh
 

since when has it been ok to make the wrong decisions, wrong calls and put a bad beat on someone and be proud about it? What is this game comming to where there is a forum about it?

Sometimes you feel like a nut..
 

Hey, never said I was proud of it. Sharing my shame. The second one I actually had the right pot odds to make the call so I am ok with that move.

sTAY AWAY FROM MY TABLES WITH YOUR GUTSHOTS!

At least you didn't river either of them, if that makes the loser feel better, maybe? o wait it doesn't. :rolleyes:

Keep getting lucky man, its working for you so far lol

Geez.. do you live 6 sigmas out of the normal distribution or something??

Haha.. gotta love tilt boys.

For something Different..
 

I had the same draw again and showed some restraint this time and folded it. Would have missed anyway. I think I have a knack for when to play this hand! heh.

Wow!
That first hand I am still shaking my head about.
But hey, I'm glad you won, I'd rather someone from here wins a hand like that than someone I don't know.... Mind you that Set of Jacks Guy must be pissed!
I still can't believe you cold-called 2 bets (Twice!!!!) on the flop :eek: with nothing but a straight draw. Gutshot at that.

Nice catch! :D

No Kidding!
 

I hardly ever play that way. Sometimes if I am having a frustrating night, and the pot is large (yeah, no pot odds but a sweeeeet pot!) I will go too far. It tends to be a -EV leak, but sometimes it works out. One day I will be more consistant.

..uhhhh....yeah, typically calling WITHOUT pot odds with a fucking gutshot will cause a -EV leak.....

btw you did not have correct odds to call the second time... keep telling yourself that as an excuse for such a shitty play though, who am i to call you a terrible player?

-jB

It's actually a good call in my opinion.

On the flop it cost you $12 to call for a pot that was slightly under $100. Odds for turning the Q is 4/47 -- however if you hit the straight, you'll have the nuts in a hand with four other players who are betting like madmen. Since the turn and river are the big betting rounds, I think you're assured of at least another 10 big bets ($60)

So basically even paying the full $12 on the flop is a good move. Your average return on the $12 in this situation is at least 4/47 * $160 = $13.61. There was a chance that you could have seen the turn for $6 (your original call before the re-raise), and that would be even better.

Grumpy!
 

Someone having a wittle bad day? Need his binky? Jesus dude. I tell you about a couple of hands I decided to play that worked out and you go all postal.. at least it was not against you. Also, you cannot judge a player by a few hands. I could be a far better player than you. You just do not know. So chill out a little.

The second hand all I needed to call the flop bet was 11-1. I definalty had that in there for the small bet. The pre-flop play was a little questionable..
