My worst live beat ever
After breaking out of my summer slump with a nice cash at Fallsview, I headed to my donk-filled Friday night $1-$2 game with a new attitude. I got slapped right in the face.
During the night I caught pocket aces SEVEN times. I had pocket kings, pocket queens, pocket jacks and pocket nines once each. Great cards - terrible results. The pocket aces held up five out of the seven times. The biggest pot I won with them was for about $200, most were under $100. I raised with them every time pre-flop.
The last hand of the night I played, was a mini-bad-beat. I had $300 to start the hand. I ended up all in on the turn with my pocket aces on a king high flop where my aggressive opponent had flopped a set of threes. I also lost a $400 pot when I flopped the nut straight vs. a flopped set that turned into a full house earlier in the night.
On the fifth time with pocket aces I raised to $20, and got six callers. I was completely ready to fold them post-flop to any resistance in betting. But the flop came A-5-5, and I was happy with all of the callers. (A player in early position had beaten me earlier in the night for $200+ pots each time. I flopped a set of nines, and he went runner-runner to win the pot with Q-4 suited. He beat me with 5-4 offsuit in another pot when I had pocket queens and he flopped two pair on what eventually ended up as a 7 high board.) My nemesis bet out $50 and the player to my right flat called. I was convinced that one or both of them had a 5, so I raised to $100. The player in early position re-raised all-in and the player to my right folded. I instantly call and say, "There is only one hand that beats me." My nemesis turns over 5-6 off-suit. I stood up and begged the dealer not to hit the one-outer. Of course the final five came on the river and my nemesis took the $600+ in the pot.
I guess my slump was only on a short hiatus.

Tough loss but these are the kind of players you DREAM of. fcuking whores!
btw, why doesn't Blondefish experience these bad beats ?? besides quads over quads.
If you don't bet big, you are sometimes giving correct implied odds to these donkeys.
I guess it depends on your definition of "understand", but I think that most of the donks at the table are mostly playing for implied odds. How many times have you heard someone say, "I knew you were beating me, but all I had to do was; 'catch one card for a straight' or 'go runner runner for a flush' or 'make my set on the river' and I was going to win a big pot." This is all about implied odds.
1/2NL ... I raise $17 preflop 7 callers..
I raise 23 Preflop... 4 callers...
I raise 28 Preflop .. 1 caller...
Hummmm... Ok ... for this table I need to raise 28 preflop .. and this is 100 max LOL
glad to see you are human and actually lose once in a while; variance is a bitch, isn't it. Hey, that would make a great t-shirt.
How about "Variance is a bitch, and then you die." for a nice play on the classic t-shirt.
