So I play a fair amount of tourneys and such and you've seen me b.itching about beats and such, so I thought I'd share this little gem.

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to xMercury69x [Ks Kc]
Zapuhc: folds
Tjolis: folds

sebabas: raises 40 to 60
passaces um: folds
xMercury69x: calls 60
Pinto1985: folds
JohnnyJay222: folds
magdale: calls 40
*** FLOP *** [4s As Ad]

I flat call in position to see what a flop brings...Two A's come and I think I may be against random hands and no A.
magdale: checks
sebabas: checks
xMercury69x: bets 60
magdale: folds
sebabas: calls 60

He flat calls

*** TURN *** [4s As Ad] [Qs]
sebabas: checks
xMercury69x: checks

Sneaky check? I think I'm good at this point

*** RIVER *** [4s As Ad Qs] [9s]
sebabas: bets 400
xMercury69x: raises 930 to 1330 and is all-in
sebabas: calls 930

I lead on the flop, checked the turn, so he...probes? I've hit a flush, so even if he does have an A, I have him beat most of the time, so I raised all-in.

*** SHOW DOWN ***
xMercury69x: shows [Ks Kc] (a flush, Ace high)
sebabas: shows [Ac Ah] (four of a kind, Aces)sebabas collected 2970 from pot
*** SUMMARY ***

I lol'd and moved along. Outkicked by one pip, up against AA when I have to shove, losing small edges when people call me down with crap...then I get a quality hand and, well, that gets beaten also...

Quite a barrel of laughs...

Mods, you may move this at will

[Sheiky]

He could have had A5 AQ or A9 and you'd still be beat.

[Zach6668]

Mods, you may move this at will

Your preflop play sucks balls, so I'm moving this immediately to the bad beat forum.

[Mercury69]

lol...thx, Zach. Serious about preflop play? Raise more? Jopke? Now that this is in strat, can I get some serious feedback? Thx!

[Pot Odds RAC]

He could have had A4 AQ or A9 or 44 or QQ or 99 and you'd still be beat.

FYP...
