Flush
Of course we got it all in on the flop ... I was ahead 85% to 15%
Wow. With a runout like that, you wouldn't happen to play with 2 Cubans and a very patriotic budding YouTube star, would you?
Just got set over setted: his sixes to my fives. I was IP and raised river when checked to - he X/R and I felt it was strong so I called instead of jamming and only lost $7 versus my $30 stack
Losing to queens like that is the worst. It happens. Not much else you can do there.
cue all the bad beat stories....
Here goes a recent one.
On the button with 99. UTG has 93o. Case 9 on the flop. He's a maniac and we get it all in on the flop. He goes runner runner flush. I decide to call it a night as the poker gods must be hating my guts that night.
If you are almost always ahead when you get it in, in the long run you do get it back. Based on your first bad beat, roughly 5 out of 6 times you win. I get the money in every time without hesitation with those odds. Whether you get it in bad is mostly irrelevant in terms of getting it back. Getting it back depends on your overall EV. With enough hands, it should even out.A friend of mine says, “you’ll win it back - you’ll hit your two outer someday.” But I think the problem is that if I dont get the money in when I’m 20% to win how can I get it back? Sure my KK vs V’s AA flop a K, but I just wonder if you can get it back if you don’t make the poor odds plays. Does that make sense?
