If you've got players who will stack off with bottom pair on a flushed flop, your game is a gold mine. Pat him on the back, say "nice hand!" enthusiastically, and keep playing your A game.

A necessary fact of poker is that bad players will make terrible moves like this and win the pot sometimes. If they didn't, they'd either get better or stop playing. And sometimes, you just have those nights: you do the right thing, you lose the pot, over and over and over. In my last two sessions, I've had pocket kings five times and lost four of them, and three were to trash hands.

Sometimes (not always!), it helps me to remember that if I keep making good decisions and don't let the bad luck tilt me, I'll win in the long run. I've also learned never to get married to any hand, not even pocket aces all in preflop. Otherwise I tilt when I lose, and then I will follow the money I lost to bad luck by losing a bunch more to bad play.

I’ve been beating myself up all night over this & woke up thinking about it. I even ran it through just to see what the odds were after the flop & turn.

Well, I’m starting to think either I have the worst luck possible OR I just suck at poker...

I was up & down all night, mostly down playing 1/3NL. I’m the BB, I’ve got $300 in my stack, I’m dealt AKd, everybody limps in so when it gets back to me, I bet $20 & 2 players call so 3 of us to the flop. The flop is T34d, I bet $25, the guy immediately to my left calls & the guy 2 spots over comes over the top all in for $145. I call & the guy to my left raises all in for just over $500. Since I’ve got the nut flush & the board hasn’t paired, I call. So we’re 3 way all in before the turn, the first guy that went all in has KK & the second guy has J4 off which really surprised me he called the first bet, much less went all in with that. Well, He went runner runner 44 & won it all.

Almost every hand I had tonight went that way, even when I had a good hand, somehow a guy would connect with shit cards & beat me. I even got beat tonight with the worst hand in poker, I had pocket Aces & got beat by 72 off. I’m starting to wonder why I even play this game lol.

You got it in three ways as a 96% favorite? It sucks that this was the one time in 25 that you lose in this spot (been there), but stop beating yourself up over bad luck that you can't control.

You should be grinning and whistling when you think about the next time you play in this game. They WILL give it back, with interest. :bigbucks:

That's poker! We all go on runs where nothing hits, and then it turns and everything hits. Keep up the good fight. You WANT players like that in your game.
 
"$9 buy in, $10 rebuy thru round 3. $10 dealer add on at end of 3rd round. One of the funnest tournaments in Deadwood!"

I think your 0 key is broken, check your keyboard.

Got em good tonight. $200 >>> $605 in about 2.5 hours.

Flopped a boat with 98 BB vs SB on a 998 board and got it in on the River against his A9 in a nearly $400 pot. Easy game.

Wouldve stayed longer, but I have no idea what I’m doing 300BB deep, and it’s an 80 minute drive home for me.

I love it when a straight is dealt like that. It is the perfect time to remind casual players, "You should not read the board for your opponents - just in case they were fixated on their pocket pair."

Found a bag in the Live 500 $100K GTD at Maryland Live late last night. Coming back on Sunday to 555k at 8k bb. Avg stack right around 330k and a little over 100 left. Man I am glad to be playing live again.

Got it up to 800k, ran a 225k river bluff when all the draws hit with A high blocker and got called by 3rd pair. Then ten away from the money jammed ATo from the BB with 20bb against a button open who woke up with AK. :sick::vomit::sick::vomit:

We try again this week! They are getting some great fields at Live recently
