Amusing tale of a slow play gone wrong (not for me).......

[mackthefork]

For once I was witness to a guy who was entitled to be aggrieved with the poker gods (party poker gods), this is definitely the most stunning example of a slowplay and how evil cards can be to you if you tempt fate /images/graemlins/grin.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif.

I don't see how the Button can ever put the SB on a full house or better before the river; he's going to see the turn and once he sees the turn he will probably stay in to see the river with his made straight (since a full house isn't going to push on the turn). Anyone disagree?

[mackthefork]

I certainly don't disagree with those comments, his hand just kept getting better and better on every street, in the end he had the nuts and the other guy probably didn't even realise he didn't have the nuts anymore. It's one of those f&amp;*(ed up situations that just happens if you see enough cards /images/graemlins/grin.gif.

Yeah. This is just one of those times you want to be sitting in a Casino with a Bad Beat jackpot /images/graemlins/wink.gif
