Classic players only beat wowww

[willydasaint]

Just thought I would share another typical disgusting setup hand that I dealt with last night...

$1-2 NL 6max

Seat 2 player limps under the gun for $2
Seat 3 also limps for $2
In seat 9, I raise the action to $10
Both seat 2 and 3 call for $8 more a piece. and seat 2 types in chat "last hand for me...I have to call"

Flop comes 6D, 4H, 6H

Seat 2 checks
Seat 3 bets $33
I raise to $66
Seat 2 raises all in with $259.10
Seat 3 folds
I call for $193.10

Pot is $582.20


can anybody guess mine and seat 2's hands???

ill respond with the outcome in a little bit

[Guidugli]

U had AA and seat 2 had 6x off, where x=trash

[DeadBabySoup]

personally, i'm not going all in there with anything less than a full house. but to make it a better bad beat story, i'll say you had 66, he had 5h 7h and the 8h hit on the river. either that, or you had 44 and he had 66.

[travz21]

Personally, I don't care. You're obv looking for sympathy or something or the sorts. Ask for ways you could have played it differently instead of moaning about losing. Losing is a big part of improving, embrace it.

Eh, most likely, given that a very normal every day occurence on a poker table like that is posted, I'd say the poster had AA and couldn't get away from it, and the guy going all-in had either 44 or made a dumbass call pre-flop with A6s.

[RiverstarsVictim]

Not really sure A6s would be such a dumbass call?

SB + BB + 2 limpers = $12 raise pf

As played, as long as seat 1 calls, seat 2 goes nowhere

Is it really a dumbass call?...I dunno lol

And if OP did have AA, too bad you cant lay it down when you're shown obvious strength. No sympathy.

Also, when somebody types in chat "last hand for me...I have to call", I often expect to see AA here, so maybe OP had KK.

Whoever had what, the play looks terrible anyway. What's that min-raise all about? Either flat-call or raise it up properly.

[Fictive]

I see your point, but personally I wouldn't call. The chances that you are already behind are enormous, to me it is a fold no matter what seat 1 does. Sure, flopping huge gives you a winning hand, but the chances for that are really slim. Not to mention what to do if the flop brings ace-rag-rag. You got the ace with no kicker, and are easily dominated. Each to his own of course, but I believe that is only a waste of money calling with A6 OOP.

On another note, there are tons of players that play aces UTG like seat 2 did. Limp-call. Check-raise. Push.

I second River's opinion on this one... My first thought was the same... happens so often, someone says "I gotta go" or something to that effect to try to sucker in callers with a big hand... So yeah, I'm going with Villain AA vs OP KK as well...

Whoever had what, the play looks terrible anyway.

Also couldn't agree more with this statement as well... oddball plays all the way around the table...

[willydasaint]

as far as the min raise, I'm min raising there with my AA to try to induce another raise from the initial bettor who probably had 8s 9s or 10s, or at least get a call for another 33 in the pot. Certainly i wasnt expecting the huge raise by seat 2 following my raise to 66.

I flip over AA
Seat 2 shows 5 7 hearts

turn comes non heart Ace to give me aces full of sixes

sure enough, river comes 8 of hearts to give the guy a straight flush

if thats not sick, inform me on what is, but obviously bullshit like that happens all the time on these sites

sure there would have been other ways to play it, but i certainly dont regret any single play i made in that hand. It was just simply one of those classic online hands that giveth the nuts and then taketh away to upeth the rake.

And A6 in that situation is definitely a dumbass call. Whats the BEST the guy could hope for realistically? floppin 2 pr on the flop, or 1 in 1000 gettin this flop setup

[DeadBabySoup]

you both played horrible after the flop.

[willydasaint]

how do u figure??? theres no play I make there that gets him off his hand

[HeyKidMove]

I don't see why you're so upset, you got it in as a coin flip and lost.

[DeadBabySoup]

maybe. maybe not. if you had shoved all in after his $33 bet, he may have folded. but i'm curious what you thought he had. best case scenario for you is you're in a coin flip. but there was a strong possibility that you were drawing dead to 2 outs.

[RiverstarsVictim]

The facts are seat 2 had 14 outs after the flop. I dont blame him shoving his stack all-in while he still had fold equity. The fact you hit one of your 4 outs on the river was lucky in itself. Nothing to complain about here, just move on.

on flop: AA technically ahead vs strt-flush draw, but odds sat about 48-52 for him to win the hand. he lost a flip.

what he (and any of us in the heat of the moment) is pissed about is losing to a 2 outer on the river. he lost the realization that the river wasn't actually a 2-outer but simply the 2nd card of the 14-outer when all the money went in.

He was pissed a little longer than the heat of the moment methinks. Long enough to go running to the forum to post his bad beat story, which really isnt that bad a beat considering it was a real coinflip after the money went in.

Now if he had put a proper raise in PF...

He did put in a proper raise PF, where he should have raised more is on the flop.

[RiverstarsVictim]

He raised to 5xbb with 2 limpers, too small for a cash game in my book. If you want to encourage a multiway pot with AA then fine, just dont complain when you get cracked by pish like 57s.

I agree the min raise on the flop was poor too though.
