Great pot, but why did you even play this hand?

As for the great loss, that is really too bad. Poker is a meanie.

Hobbes

Not sure why you played post flop.
2 pair against a board that has possbile straight already made, flush draw and even a stright flush draw.
Combined with the big raise (although his call was bad), I think you really dodged one there.

I wanted to be in every single hand gizmody was in, because he was just waiting to blow up. And boy did he ever!

Hobbes

Ah I see, you had him pegged as a :fish: then.....

gokorda

apparently so.

great pot the first hand. still good even after the beat on the 2nd.

congrats, and hopefully you can find him again some day

Yorkpoker

ouch.

I think that's all I can say. I can offer a critique of preflop play, regardless of how you pegged the competition, but that just plain sux.
