Another 888PL Special - Could you have played this better?

Postby frustrated » Sat Jun 13, 2009 1:36 pm

Saturday $10 Buy-in Deepstack Challenge Event (NOT a freeroll)

Blinds 60/120

Dealt to Hero (C/O): As Jd
UTG+1 calls, Villain calls, Hero raises to $275, SB calls, BB folds, UTG+1 calls, Villian calls

Flop: 6c Jh 7s

Checks to Villian who raises to $240, Hero reraises to $750 (perhaps a bit small), 2 folds, Villain calls.

Turn: 3s

Villian checks, I raise to $2418 and I am All in. Pot $4808. Pot odds: 2.2 to 1. Villians calls.

River: 6s (BINGO!)

Villian shows: Qs Ks

Now this is a cash buy in event. It's the largest cash buy in event that 888pl holds so I don't really know what to say here...

So he doesn't have a pair on the flop and a very small chance of a draw. It's 3% that he hits a flush from the flop and 46% that he hits a pair on the turn or river (28% overall chance of winning the hand). Yet he raises and then calls a re-raise.

On the turn he is an 18% chance of making the flush and 34% that he hits a pair.

I have just learnt to deal with these situations in freerolls but with money on the line...

Yeah, saw that suckout mate.... (I notice u dont have your screename here, so I wont mention it)

But i also remember you cheering very loudly as he went from the bigstack to busting on the $ bubble! - I dunno if u railed the whole game or came back later, but a lot of us at the table got stuck into him for that one, many a payout went his way...

Got a good suckout story of my own from same tourney (now 3 up)

I was dealt Aces,
raised before me, I reraise, he reraises, I shove.... even though I HATE allin preflop even with Aces, was hopin maybe he'd read me as AA and Id be happy if he folded, and I was the shortest stack left, though still comfortable.

He calls (has about 7K left after) shows Kh Qc

Flop: 964 rainbow
SWEEEEEEEET!

Now there was a lot of chat goin on (ppl railing) and I was reading it (phhh, I got this hand in the bag!) and all of a sudden look up to "Thankyou, you placed 3rd....." WTF!!!!

I ask in the chat "WTF Happened?"

$150/$300 Blinds No Limit Holdem - *** 13 06 2009 14:07:16

** Summary **
.pKoIkNeGr. shows [ Ac, As ]
eggstatic20 shows [ Kh, Qc ]
eggstatic20 collected [ $32,030 ]

I did say in the chat I dont like allin preflop EVER, so maybe should have just called and put out a big flop bet, which would probably have him fold. Can't complain gettin it allin WAY infront but...

I think, I'll include this in the 10% maybe
Image ...11.59% of bad beat stories are just misplayed hands ...
