Fucker called my 4x raise with J7o, then called my pot sized all-in with a gut shot and one over card!?!?!?! This same guy was up to 5K at one point and had bled it down to 1700. Sick. Just sick. Now I have two tries to launch back into the top 4 of the challenge. With drewspop’s 2nd last night and highonpoker’s run this is going to be a rough one.
that is hideous! he had absolutely no reason for that move, he was barely average stack himself. sorry to see that.
I went back to make sure I left a note on him and watched him push with J7o again. Didn’t work this time. Then he pushed with 67o and a large stack was able to bust him 15th or 16th. Apparently that is his style. But there is nothing I do different about that hand I win that 80% with turn odds and 91% with river odds. I want that. It just was a rough night, and that twit capped it for me.
Actually he had a gutshot, overcard and a backdoor flush draw. Against AKo (which is what players will always put you on in this kind of situation) he has 11 outs.
Whether he’s right to think of things in this way or not, that’s the way he’s going to think of them and it’s rather pointless for you to get angry just because you didn’t figure that out.
Where you ahead? Yes, of course. And, by a lot more than he thought you were. But, he thought you were only slightly ahead and knew that if he was wrong that he wasn’t drawing dead.
You had an opponent who’s misreading the situation (fails to incorporate the chance you have a big pair into his thinking) and probably does so habitually. Would you prefer that he stop making that mistake? Do you think that would improve your results overall?
Of course you are right Gary, this is why I should not post “bad beats” right after they happen. Although I am still unhappy with the result. It happens, that’s poker.
Did I miss how he could get a back door flush draw? He had off cards and a rainbow flop…
Can’t you let me bitch and moan without bringing actual logic and math into the situation? 🙂
That’s what I get for reading blogs without my glasses on. I thought he had two spades, didn’t read it right.
So he thought he had 10 outs. (or maybe he can’t see any better than I can and he thought he’d flopped a straight.)
How’s that for logic?
