    Confession: Lost $4,400 in about 7 minutes
    Was playing cards in the city. $5/$10. Bought in for a g. Was up to $4,400 in a few hours (ran real good). Had a cig. Came back, sat down and woke up to AA in late position. I make it $50. Button and BB call. Flop A88. BB bets $75. I call. Button calls. Turn is a K. BB checks. I bet $200. Button makes it $500. BB folds. I call. River is a 6. I bet $850. He shoves for like $1k more. I insta call. He shows 88.

    It's ok, I still have like $1,900 left. Very next hand. Guy raises to $40. 1 call. I look at 65 of hearts. I call. 2 others call. Flop comes 6 K 4. 2 hearts. Guy bets $130. I make it $300. He calls. Everyone else mucks. Turn is a 5. He checks. I bet $600. He shoves I call. He has 99. Horrendous move by this idiot. He was dying to lose his money. But of course river comes a K.

    I go home early.

    **** My Life Boys. I run like shit all of a sudden.

    Thanks for letting me vent.

        Yea but when your smoking a cigarette saying "alright I'll sit around for a half hour and then leave" it hurts more. Not to mention when you already know what your going to buy with it.

          Not to mention I don't exactly have the bankroll to be playing $5/$10. Kind of was just taking a shot.

            When you lose that much money in 7 minutes it's a killer. Like JJ says go back with another wad and recoup your losses.

                SO are you gonna run down to kinnish and get a job driving a truck?

                Maybe pick up your buddy worm and tag team some games?


                Im really sorry for your "loss"

                          dude your lost a g. You didn't lose 4400 as you didn't cash out. Risk/reward buddy. Most gamblers do that (1K) on a bad day on a weekend. I know myself I went down 24k to 18K (in two days) and do not know what my next move is. (Edit: Probably all in colts ML lol )

                          On a side note fuk I have an itchy foot, should never have gone down to tell my neighbours to turn the music down...walking down 30m drive way and started watching big orgy through window and I think a spider bit my foot. Driving me nuts.

                              Sounds like they set up a cooler while you were out for a cig. Was Worm playing at your table.

                                Seriously though, that hand was brutal. Not like you could have made a different decision.

                                            It's called poker and it is a game of chance, your better off playing fukkin dice.

                                              you played hand one very poorly. if your only going to call the turn then you have to check the river there

                                              unlucky tho

                                                lol. the only way to play the hand poorly with top full house is if you didn't get all your money in by the end of the hand.

                                                    lol, that was my point. leading out on the river could of convinced the other guy he was beat and he may of just called IF HE HAD a worse full house. BJ only bet 850 of his 1800 stack on the river. do you understand now?

                                                            Sounds a little greedy to me . guy looking for the kill and got burned

                                                            We all end up like that, its called being a degenerate gambler.

                                                              effective stack sizes are 1850 or so going into the river according to BJ. other guy raised the turn 500 and BJ only called. So the other guy is representing a huge hand.

                                                              Betting 800 on the river messes up a few things. 1. If he was bluffing he will prob not continue thru and realize he must fold. 2. If he has a strong hand but not a hand that can beat Aces full he may only call now. A8 K8 8x maybe even KK.

                                                              If on the other hand you check the river. 1. He will likely continue on his bluffs. 2. He will very likely bet hands that he would of only called (the A8, K8 8x, KK). If he bets 800 with those hands(he may also just shove all-in which is perfect) and BJ shoves he may just feel he is pot committed and make a crying call. Not too many players can fold a full house facing a 1k raise into a 5-6K pot.

                                                              Conclusion: There is almost no reason to lead out on the river. The only spot where it really makes sense is if know your opponent very well and you know he wont make thin value bets. In that case you may want to bet river and expect him to call with 89, 87 hands like that. but that is only optimal if you think thats what he has AND think he won't bet the river with those hands. ( not a likely scenario)

                                                                      Obviously I can't do that after reading the hands. Just unlucky bro. Sent u 1 point.
