Here's a great example too with all the calculations: (and it actually uses 65 suited!)

he's favored on the flop. he's really favored on the turn. get your money in.

Tough loss BJ. In the future if the money is already spent in your head then leave. It is that simple. If the money has a more meaningful place then on the table take it and use it on that. This is especially true when people are talking about bills/necessities. I know that wasn't your case but the TV,laptop,watch or whatever you were buying in your head should be at your house not still on the store shelf. BOL in the future.

damn dude super rough

[pozzy]

Good thing you confessed.. Im sure that was eating at you..

[sinmiedo]

i feel for you
i also play on tables that my br do not support, but on line, but i played sloppy and lost.
best advice................always cashout after a big run, if you are in a live game double your initial buy in ad leve.
on line take 50% of your prfits on monthly or weekly bases.
leaving the mone there is a temptation and cause us to play loose.

[G's pks]

god bless you son...call JJ...

[BigLouie66]

tough deal, sry to hear...

[zlate22]

damn nice played but unlucky

[lyc16]

well with ur flush draw. on the turn if he checks to u, u shoulda prob just see the free card, at the turn ur hand was like 20% if u seekin for a flush draw, so by betting 600$ ur pretty much self-commiting yourself to the pot if he calls, especially when he call ur check raise... yes u could say he had 99, but its likely he made a read on u with flush draw, perhaps u made a quick re-raise on the flop, if u had a King ... with the straight and flush draw on the board he prob think u'd wanna do pot control, so when u bet he put u on flush draw, its not the worst play.. in fact it could be a really good read on his part.

as for the aces full to quad 8.. yea thats tough .. but dont u get a bad beat bonus from casino if u lose with Aces full?

[hunterwrot]

yea next time you are up that high. buy a huge sac of weed and go home and play xbox and think of all the hookers.

[darys]

$5/$10 is big. If you just go to any 5/10 and watch about 7 min. I bet you'll see a lot of players up and down 4k/5k like that.

[IrishTim]

Always fold pocket rockets, they will hurt you.

Wonderful advice.

Sharpcat, you are totally clueless. You have no idea what you're talking about. Please just stop trying. You're making yourself look like a fool.

I lost $6gs in about 7 min too, when I had eagles -3.5 against Dallas last week, was up 30-20 then the rest is history.

i still think with all the math here you guys are missing the point (and i am as big on math as they get).

unless this was an actual casino, it comes back to the "fat tony" street smarts question:

if i flip a fair coin 100 times and it comes up heads all 100 times then what are the odds it will come up heads on the next flip?

**the mathematician says 50/50
**fat tony says almost 100% - there is a much greater chance you are lying about the fairness of the coin than an actual fair coin coming up heads 100 times in a row

so i would agree with fat tony here, there is a pretty good chance on the first hand back from break, that when a88 comes on the flop, and one player has aa and another has 88 that the game is rigged. especially with the way it was bet and raised on the turn. i would NEVER raise on the turn in position with the nuts like that for fear of chasing away another bet on the river/first guy improving.

[milwaukee mike]

also - a detective would point out that not too many people, upon losing this much money in this manner, would be able to post 5 nice messages in the hour before the posting of this story like bj did.

if i went on the computer, my anger would be showing on every post and the first thing i would do is post about this and it would include quite a few cuss words.

[geebert74]

The worst is the ride home... Your thinking of how you fukked up and how you should have been smarter about the whole thing... we all have been there... hang in there...

[sharpcat]

Sharpcat, you are totally clueless. You have no idea what you're talking about. Please just stop trying. You're making yourself look like a fool.

This post made me laugh not only does it not clarify exactly why I have no idea what I am talking about it does not prove that you know what you are talking about in any way either.

What is even funnier is when reviewing your posting history I notice that you post exactly 1 post per day Mr. big shot poker player seems to be awfully pressed for his precious 12 SBR points a day, I get it your a big shot poker player you just do not have any money.

What is even funnier is the idea that their is only 1 way to play every poker hand which is flat out untrue there are many variables to a poker hand, in this scenario I would choose to flat call after the flop whereas others would choose to raise and hope for a big hand on the turn.

Good luck at the SBR poker tables!!!

[boneheaded1]

Sapidoc, correct on the first hand being a cooler but the second hand, he should have walked away from and waited for a better spot. Especially at a table with a bunch of fishies. Had he not just been cooled, then I would suggest the loose play call but after the cooler hand he needs to default to grind mode.

[jmilacek]

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.

what the ****

[Socrates]

Sorry to hear that. I lost 2,500 hundred on a single bet once. Not fun. lol

[horsiehung]

that 88 really left a mark!

[MickChunky]

Makes you wonder why the 99 guy is even playing at 5/10

[Lint Pockets]

thats what happens when you play garbage hands (the 6 5 hand)

[JW Cash]

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.

Cigarettes can be hazardous to your heath AND bankroll.....

[horsiehung]

man poker can be really complicated..maybe why i lose so much!
