How do you feel you played the hand?

I don't believe it

Wonderful a bad beat story where we have played it so slow post flop, we have been asked to be outdrawn.

poor play with the Aces. you can not complain when you try to be clever and then get caught out.

Blah, why do I bother reading these threads.

how is that sick when he plays the hand pretty much correctly and you fucked up by not betting the flop? lol.

ah wait the avatar suggests you play at walsall? that would explain it.
donksville to the max.

if i bet flop i no he passes i want maxium value so i hope a pic card turns an it does.i am massive favourite wen money goes in an thas wat matters.prob most time i bet flop but i wanted to get some value so i checked.bingo turn card 4 me so i think lol any way 1st real beat 4 me 4 a while so take it like a man lollol

Yep, this is a bad beat story, but I don't think he necessarily played it badly. He did get all the chip counts in with his opponent needing to hit a 2 outer. I'd take that any day of the week.

I know you are one of the biggest assets to the HA board boldie. But i dont believe you've got this one correct.

He bets the flop  he takes a small pot down.

He checks the flop and a Q appears, he is going to take i sizable pot down unless the ridiculous 2 outer somehow appears.


I agree snoops.

I know u might argue that if the Q doesnt come u dnt get any extra money, but it might also encourage ur opponent to have a stab, putting u on AK.

You're right ofcourse that he didn't play it that badly. I was a bit ticked off with the whole bad beat thing the threads are getting on my nerves a bit.

I do think however that slowplaying Aces on this flop (with a decent pot already build up pre-flop) is inviting trouble. There was no way to know that the other guy had 2 picture cards or something like Ace queen. (Could have had pocket kings and all that and the chips still would have flown in...or even Ace Ten could have made the raise pre-flop)

The problem when getting clever with aces and not betting the flop is that fairly often you can get shafted. In this case he is unlucky ofcourse but he would have had a 2300-600 chip advantage over the other guy and the other guy problably would have called a bet on the flop anyways. (assuming I read this correctly and it's HU)

will everyone stop calling this COLD DECK a bad beat please?!

How isnt it a bad beat?

his opponent played it correctly thats why.

That doesnt make it any less of a beat.

lol. play often?

Ok, we all must be incorrect.

I would define a bad beat as when the money goes in, you are a considerable favourite and lose the hand. I think it has little to do with how the hand was played.

He lost to a two outer, course it was a bad beat, regardless of how the hand played out.

aaaand what happened to it only being a bad beat if the opponent had no right to call or be in the hand?

wikipedia.org....

In poker, "bad beat" is a subjective term for a hand in which a player who had what appeared to be strong cards nevertheless loses. There is no consensus among poker players as to what exactly constitutes a bad beat, and often players will disagree about whether a particular hand was a bad beat.

These "played it too slow/too fast" threads amuse me greatly.

Nobody can say, definitively, he played it too one or the other, because it depends on so many things.

But I know this, & everyone seems to forget it. Playing Aces or Kings slow, or fast, or whatever, is simply a question of increasing or decreasing the risk/reward factor.

Play them ultra-fast, get all the chips in the middle pre-flp, generally means no customers, & you win little, but are guaranted to win the hand.

Play them slow, invite action, more likely to lose, but when you win, you gat paid more. It's a very simple equation.

As to Bad-Beats, to my mind, they are entirely irrevelant. It's the nature of poker & "chance", so I do wonder why folks moan about them. But if it makes 'em feel better, it's fine by me. I'd rather they Posted them on blonde then harangued me with them at Live Venues!

Hey Tikay are you going to update your pic with the Black tie white shirt look from the open? Kara still talking to you ;-).

I would have shipped all my chips after the flop ... if he calls and the board does runner runner Q then there
is nothing you can do.
