This is the tourny ive been in top 18 for about an hour and a half- I KNOW i slowplayed it - CAN U BLAME ME? every call i made i was like okay theres no big draws he can have - nothing i have to push him off- lemme make all i can off this.

seriously has anyone seen this many bad beats in one day
look at all my bad beat posts lately - how am i supposed to win ?

[johnp158]

Not gonna flame, I don't think you deserve it, and I saw all the other beats. But surely you at least raise the turn. If he's on a draw you make him pay to hit it and if he has a pretty big hand he probably pays you off.

[JDMcNugent7]

but i played with this guy for over an hour - i was 90% sure it was a complete bluff, almost any other player i woulda been pushin back thinkin they had a strong hand like AK anyway and would get a solid call, this guy i was pretty darn sure would fold to any raise.

[omahilo]

you got greedy... I rather win a 15 or 20K pot than lose a 40K pot.

[Talking Poker]

Bingo. I understand the reason for the slowplay, but you're not allowed to complain about a bad beat when not ONCE did you give him an opportunity to fold.

[sjay2k]

I don't think the slowplay is that bad at all. The board isn't very draw heavy. But I still pop it on the turn.

[JDMcNugent7]

me 2- but think about it - I'd rather win a 40k pot, than a 20k pot, WHEN he has 5% to make his hand from the flop , and 12% for the river - It makes calculated sense to take that chance, in the long run trying to win the 40k pot would work out way in the +EV.

[Zybomb]

I pop it on the turn also... here's why. You had the mother of all flops. Youh it a set and an Ace AND a King also hit the board....there is a HUGE possibility that this player has hit top pair, maybe top two, etc. Meaning he is GOING to pay you off. This is one of the times I fast play, depsite the lack of logical draws on the flop
