MONSTER POT (29.5 BB - $177.00). What could go wrong???

Hero shows A /images/graemlins/heart.gif T /images/graemlins/heart.gif - FULL HOUSE - AAA TT
MP shows 8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif 8 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif - FULL HOUSE - 888 AA
SB shows 9 /images/graemlins/club.gif J /images/graemlins/club.gif - STRAIGHT FLUSH - Eight to the Queen

OOOOOOOPPPPSSS! There went the $50 dollars I had won up to that point.

Anyways, would you do it different??? I never considered the Straight Flush, should I have??? If so, when.

Just for the record - I AM NOT WHINING - I thought I was well on my way to a NICE win.

Nope, I'd probably have gone a few more bets on the river before giving him credit...fortunately for you in this case Party caps at 4! /images/graemlins/wink.gif

You should read bison's recommendations for posting. Nobody would have played this any differently, and it certainly comes off as a bad-beat story. If anyone tells you to fold this hand or slow down at any point, it is probably bad advice so I'm not sure what there is to discuss.

Hi AviD,

I'm not going more than 4 bets on the river even if I could when the Q comes out. If the river had been the 7 /images/graemlins/club.gif I'm with ya.

I'd agree, most are not 5-betting here without AQ, highly doubtful with the A high flush, so 6-betting and getting 7-bet would confirm you are at best splitting but most likely behind.

I have yet to find myself in a situation where a hand has gone more than 4 bets on the river, but most of my play is online...not live. Good call! /images/graemlins/wink.gif
