You had the best starting hand pre flop, so yes, that IS a bad beat. I think the problem might get better, if you didn't push all in. A decent raise each time pre flop would have probably been called, and then a healthy bet might have took both of those pots down after the flop, when you actually were ahead, but by going all in, you had no options here, but to see the turn and river cards. Save the all in for when you have the nuts on the river, and you will go deeper, and possibly win !
.......play on ......Tc.......
ok the last hand the guy put in a small bet to see where he stand with his kicker (8).....then i reraise him, but he calls so he would never lay down his cards is my opinion.
hand 1 .....i put him on a middle pair, he had 99 , i had toppair....lets say i only call his preflop raise.....the flop was 2-6-3.....do you think he would lay his 99 down with that flop?
nuthin u can do about it, it happens all the time
Wow, you got beat up bad! It is just really hard to whip myself around these kinds of hands. It really is like making it thru a maze in a tournament.
Especially when you're chip healthly.
It just seems like then the good down cards come, hand after hand, you have to play them because they are so good, but after the flop there is ZIP. Then, a medium to bad hand comes, we fold it ie...9/3 os, and darn if that's the one that would have won a BIG pot.
Poker......... ya got to hate that ya love it!!
You always do great when I check in....that's why I would take lessons from you if you gave lessons! G
