Title: Jen busted my ass!
Post by: El Yortle on April 27, 2006, 03:59:48 PM
Jen busted me in the third hand of this afternoon's Gutshot tournament.

With starting blinds of 25-25 (starting stack = 1500,) I took a limp in middle position with  Jc 7c.

The board came down  2c 3c 4c. Jen chucked 100 chips in. (There may have been one caller before me, I forget.) I re-raised to 500 chips; Jen went all-in. I thought for about 10 seconds then called, and as I feared my flush was outkicked by Jen's  Qc 6c, meaning I didn't even have any outs to the straight flush.

I figure percentage-wise it's about 2% for someone to flop a Jack-flush and another player to have flopped a higher flush, so I think I did the mathematically correct thing.

Ah well, sorry I didn't quite get a chance to introduce myself, but it was fun whilst I was there.  8)

Hope you went on to win it.

Isn't it like 100 to 1 to flop a flush?
For 2 people to flop a flush the odds are ridiculously miniscule, alot less than 2% I believe.

 Hands like Ac 5h  5d 6d or  3d 3h are perfectly possible holdings too.

Limping with jack,7 is ridiculous, jack,5 however is an obligatory raise.

Actually, she did go on to win it... :-)

At one point when the blinds were something like 600/1200 she was down to 350... what a comeback.

I particularly remember this great fold: blinds are 350/700 and she raises my big blind to 2000.  I re-raise another 2400 all-in.  She thinks for a while and passes deuces.  I had kings!  How did she know!!?

Eventually I came second... we were heads-up, I move in with A6, she called with J6 & hit a flush... what a fish!
