You know what poker???

Actually, in this EXACT spot people will think the min re-raise is a re-steal and many times come back over the top all-in. He could have done that, it would have been better (not knowing my hand) for him to do that than simply call with 2-7.

Could also be argued that stealing with 2-7 that early in a tournament is foolish.

Play of the hands aside, this was in fact a horrible beat, I had AA and he had no business in the hand, that would be the definition of a bad beat.

You would think on the forum that there was no such thing as a bad beat however, raguardless of the play of the hands someone will blame your play.

you have to reraise more, IMO also

[Boobie Lover]

Sarcasm?

[Talking Poker]

Actually, I disagree. He was a pretty big favorite when the money went in. Had you sucked out, then he could say it was a bad beat, yes, but the best hand (by a lot) holding up is certainly not the definition of a bad beat.

Call it a bad flop for you, sure, but there was no bad beat here. You put all your money in as a big dog. Tough beat, sure... but not a bad beat.

Like Boobie said, sarcasm?

I mean seriously, this shows pretty much no understanding of poker.

And this is why u think ur the unluckiest person ever. No one else thinks this is a bad beat at all. You played this hand extremely weak and bad.

I can't beleive you think it's a bad beat when you get 680 of your stack in when your ahead, and 3,225 in when you are WAY behind.

[Penguinfan]

And how many of you get off AA in that spot, EVER?


All I can wish for is that you all catch a run of luck like myself and Bdawg have had.


Perhaps, maybe then, you would understand.

Otherwise, plz ban me.

[Talking Poker]

The thing you need to remember is that the good players reading this wouldn't have gotten themselves in that spot... EVER.

[Zybomb]

Precisely the reason that opponent would be wrong to fold any two cards to your reraise. In the longrun he wins 3255 1 out of 8 times and loses 280 7 out of 8 times for a net profit of 3255 - 1960 = 1295 chips.

Yes , in the longrun opponent wins 1295 chips and you lose 1295 chips

No I wouldn't have gotten off aces in this spot, but like TP already said, I would have never been in this spot because when I reraised I would have bumped it up to 1200. If he calls and outflops me, he gets the rest of my stack in all likelihood, but at least Im making him make a mistake, rather than making the mistake myself

[ChipFish]

Well said.

[Talking Poker]

I agree with the logic behind this, of course, but my question is where are you coming up with the 1 in 8 flops thing?

Do you really think that 72s flops 2 pair or better 1 in 8 times? It can't flop a straight and any "draw" that it flops, I wouldn't consider outflopping AA, with the possible exception being an open ended straight draw around the 7 (456, 568, 689, 89T) WITH two hearts, but even then, it's not exactly a big favorite.

[Zybomb]

72s vs AA , the 72s is approx a 16% or 17% favorite preflop (depending if one of the aces is the same suit as the 72s), which means roughly 1 out of every 6 times the 72 will win. That is with all 5 cards out however, so reduced to account for the times it outflops AA, it'd probably be closer to 1 in 9 rather than 1 in 8 (that would be some low cards with straight possibilities also)... regardless it doesnt matter. 72 could win as little as 1 in every 12 times and still come out ahead and make the preflop call +EV

[JDMcNugent7]

nice.
