Tonight's beat

[AceLosesKing]

After raising all in with AQ to a min raise, I lose half my stack to KK. Down to 4,500, blinds 500/1000. I'm on the button.

4 limpers.

I have 66, can't push anyone off this. I decide to limp and see a flop. SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: . Pretty good flop. Action is checked around to me - yay, no Jack! Insta all in, 3,500. SB insta call, folds around.

"Uhh... you checked a Jack didn't ya?"
"No, I have a 3."
"Oh! I'm good."

37o. 7 on the river.

Somehow I knew it was coming.

[AceLosesKing]

Nothing else I could do. I played it right. One of those "its poker" hands.

Don't take thid the wrong way Aaron, but 90% of people are knocked out of every tournament with one of those 'its poker' hands. Does everybody in cyber-space really want to know about one of those 'its poker hands' that we all experience in 4 out of 5 tournaments?

No they're not.

Maybe benny the cunt and I are the only ones on the forum that enjoy discussing our hands, how we played them, what happened, etc (I doubt it) but if you're not interested Matty, don't post.

I haven't posted many beats lately, but talking to Darren afterwards, I realised it really was one of those "its poker" hands. So I thought I'd throw it up - because this is one of the few hands where I couldn't have done anything more to stop the outcome.

It's not really a "It's poker" hand, it's a "It's NPL" hand.

The insta-call with no thought behind it is a trademark.

The insta-call with no thought behind it is a trademark.

Not entirely true, their thought was that they had hit the board and that they could do it again.

Pub Poker = if you are behind when you call an all-in, you are really infront because you have 5 outs twice.

Their play is ingenious, how can everyone not see that???

[muzzington]

You're changed my mind, it's actually brilliant!

[rcon]

Come on, give him just a little credit - he has hit mid pair after all, and isn't it possible the button is making a move?

[Shannon]

and isn't it possible the button is making a move?

hmmm, yes....no.....yes....no....maybe....probably.....yes.....no....could be.....not too sure.....

But what the hell, there are two cards to come!!
