Playing the 74 in last nights Blonde freeroll

[Acidmouse]

Weekly freeroll on blonde: I got some abuse from two players who seem to know each other over a hand that doubled me up very early on. I am not too sure I played it like a "retard" as they said I did.

I got dealt  I call 40 and see the flop.

 

I put a bet of 80 out to test the water and I am re-raised by 180, I go all in thinking I have lots of outs and he most probs has two high cards.


He shows 


ofcourse I get my flush on the river! and I proceed to get verbal abuse by two people about how bad I played the hand.

Where they right?

I arrived late to the game and walked in to the "friendly" banter as the hand finished. That Rhys chap has struck me as a good player in the past and not inclined to be rude but he was out of order last night, especially as he wasn't even in the hand but was obviously a friend of the sore loser.

It was supposed to be a fun comp and a "freeroll" anyway, what on earth was there problem? I think they are a bit up themselves and a miffed to see his chips go at an early stage. At least I had the satisfation of taking Rhys's chips off him a few hands later.

[Acidmouse]

Yes thats true, its a freeroll for god's sake. Felt nice when you sank his ship and then I took his last 80

to be honest 47 suited is a better hand than 7Q off....for one, they are suited, and they are near-connected..plus its the god-damn nuts - who the hell plays 7Q off strongly anyway?

[suzanne]

Very bad play by the other chap with Q7 off IMO.

I too have played Rhys many times and he is a good player and I must say has always struck me as a very nice chap. Its a bit out of character for him to be rude. Who was the player with Q7 can you remember?

Maybe Tribeca players are getting fed up being beaten with 47 LOL

[Acidmouse]

Not sure, had welsh flag avatar though and was his friend from Cardiff.. Ahh well sore losers

[suzanne]

Yes there are a bunch of students from Cardiff that play in the UPL league/ $1k so they were probably mates.

They will be after your blood next week

a name like "sennapod" or close 

[suzanne]

Ahhhhhh sentipied...again a very good player but he has been know to get a bit verbal 

Surprised he played that hand.

I think the fact that this game is played at midnight on a Sunday may have a lot to do with the fishy/bad calls made which is why the canadian seem to do so well.

That's the chap
