Time to Leave

[andyfox]

I raise on the button with A-8. By the river there are two of us left, the board is T-T-5-5-K or somesuch similar (two pair), and there is no bet. An opponent shows A-9 and I muck. Aaach . . .

I decide it's time to leave. I tell a friend at the table what I did and that I think I need to leave. I decide to play one more round. What an idiot.

Of course, I get pocket aces during the round, raise a bazillion limpers, I get to 3-bet the flop, my hand holds up as I get called down by a guy who flopped a king to match the one in his hand, and I stack two bazillion chips.

Sometimes, there's no justice.

"a guy who flopped a king to match the one in his hand,"

as opposed to the one he dropped on the alley out back? what?

mike still really needs glasses update: ive lost about $500 now from misreading hands in the past month or so, both online and live.

If by one more round, you mean, "till I get one sweetass pot back because of my donkey mistake", then yes you should stay one more round.

How does A9 beat A8 on that board again?

It does once the other player's hand hits the muck.
