MasterLJ 0 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Not really a bad beat, just a bad hand.2/5 NLUTG calls,UTG+1 makes it $15I'm in the BB, been playing very tight the entire game. I decided to have some "fun". I have 9 10 spades. I ask him, "do you want a call?" He replies, "sure."I call, UTG callsFlop is Q99. I'm happycheck, check, checkTurn is a 5I bet out $25: call, call... w.t.f.River brings another 5:Board is now Q9955I bet out $50.UTG raises all-inUTG+1 raises all-in (has UTG covered)I react... I don't think... I say "I have to call"UTG has J9 for 9's full of 5'sUTG+1 shows QQ for Q's full of 9'sand I of course, have 9's full of 5's as well.Sick.It's mostly sick because I didn't think, I just reacted.Had I sat down and thought rationally I could have figured it out.One had to have a 9. It's safe to say no one had a 5. This means that I am chopping with one person, and that I'm risking all my chips to AT BEST split the chips of the other guy, and in the worst case I am risking ALL of my chips to win another $100 or so. I really am better than that, I should have figured it out. I was in perfect position to make a huge laydown, but instead, I was an idiot. Link to post Share on other sites
Frinkenstein 0 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I guess it's not technically a bad beat... But, I'm glad you put it in this forum. Link to post Share on other sites
MasterLJ 0 Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 Yeah, I even admitted it.It's not a bad beat at all. I was drawing absolutely dead. I just figured this was the best place to put it. Had to share it.I'm more upset that I didn't attempt to re-evaluate on the river and just reacted by calling.. Link to post Share on other sites
