Another cracked Aces story, but WTF?

[eddo31]

nothing you can do

just reaffrim yourself with a stuart smalley style talk.

just curious, why did you take the time to say that it was the right move to raise with aces? isnt that fairly obvious here?

edit: i dont like to slowplay aces, or get too cute with them. i generally push hard with them. with the propensity of a number of players to check raise with aces now, i find that people dont always even put me on aces, because i played them fast.

Because I have been argued on-line and by players in my home game that you should slow play aces pre-flop, to which I say BULLSHIT, if for no other reason except to not give the BB a free look at the flop which may come back to haunt you later. If I just call and the BB flops a straight with 2-3 then thats my own fault, so I NEVER let that happen.

LMFAO.

That really is terrible, the guy is playing 2-3, wow. What was he hoping for, a pair of 3s and a 2 on the flop?

Take note and catch him later, he likely takes every flop.

[junYUN]

wow, that is quite possibly the worst beat i've ever heard. sorry man, glad it didn't happen to me.

[Penguinfan]

We have all had Aces ruined by a straight, that part is not so bad, but every time I take a bad beat I honestly try to see if there was any way to see it coming. I think we would all be better players if we tried to see why we lost instead of just bitching about it. In this case I really don't think Nostradamus could have seen in coming.

[Aequitas58]

I guess you haven't ever flopped the nut straight, but then got beat by runner runner making quads.

THAT, sir, was a bad beat.

[bothecorgi]

That's why I hate limit - you cannot raise enough to get people off crappy cards. In NL, you could have bet 3 to 4 times the BB and got that guy to fold.

[Penguinfan]

See, I don't know about that, if you call in very early position against a UTG raise I think you would play it no matter what.
