Bad Beats in Poker

[Guynemer]

Here we go.

I'm now able to play the real games. I might start tonight.

Handle: "Guynemer"

Shocking.

[Guynemer]

Un-****ing-believable.


I've lost appx $15 on the last two hands, losing on the goddamned river on both hands, with trip Kings (to a flush) and top pair of Aces (to two pair) respectively.

Mother****er! Both hands, the guy who beat me had no business still being in the hand.

What the **** did I tell you? They draw to anything. If the flush card hits get the **** out of the hand.

[KrazyHorse]

They're paying you off most of the time, so bet at them hard if they're on the draw and fold it down if their draw hits.

As for me I'm up a total of 400$ since last week and have now paid my rent for the month.

[KrazyHorse]

You've got a huge table around you and 70% of them see the ****ing flop. There's at least one of them betting on hitting his flush on the turn or river, so make him pay for the privilege of seeing cards. As soon as I realised they were always drawing I stopped bleeding money on stupid beats by stupid players and started taking them for everything they had.

[KrazyHorse]

Unless I've got the nut flush draw or an outside straight draw on the flop and only have a single weak bet before me you will never ever ever see me call a bet (addendum: unless I'm slowplaying something massive). I fold or bet. Those 2 options make up 80% of my plays.

[KrazyHorse]

Note: this strategy is against ****ty online players only. Real players I do things differently and I'm not telling you how.

EDIT:

BTW, I just figured out that I've probably seen 5000 hands to make 400$. I keep 4 windows open at once and each table sees ~60 hands an hour for a total of 240 hands per hour. Times just over 20 hrs

I've also earned enough player points for the weekly minor players points freeroll (no entry fee, free money if you win) with a top prize of 650$ and total prizes of 3000$.

That's tonight at 9. Wish me luck...

[Jon Miller]

you only got 400 for 20 hours?

that isn't very good

Jon Miller

[KrazyHorse]

How so? It's 20$ an hour tax free for something which doesn't even feel like work. I'll take that any day of the week.

Jon, are you getting a massive stipend that I don't know about? Because doubling my salary of 2.5 hrs "work" every night sounds like a pretty good deal to me. Especially because I'd play poker for play money.

[Jon Miller]

oh, if it does'nt feel like work than by all means, knock yourself out

Jon Miller

[Guynemer]

Goddamn it, it happened again!

First hand of the night, I'm A-Q off suit, flop the Ace, bet hard.

Eventually, the river comes. No chance for a flush, only a remote possibility of a straight. No pairs on the board.

And I get beat by two pair, on a 2 and a King that came on the turn and the river respectively, by a guy who was holding a 2-K suited. He didn't even have a chance for the flush after the flop! And he stayed in with a PAIR OF TWOs on the turn!

MOTHER****ER!

[MRT144]

guynemer, thats why pp is the devil. that has been the story of the playing there.

[David Floyd]

Hey, Guynemer is learning my frustration now. I never play online anymore, although I would with you guys. My only exception to that rule is that sometimes I'll play tournaments.

I play 3-5 times a week in live games, and that's fine for me. I'm already up around $250 on the week, and I have games tonight, tomorrow, and Saturday
