Hi all!
I've been experiencing a string of expensive bad beats, and I just wanted to post a typical hand to see if I it is just bad luck or me overplaying my hands.
.25/.50 Stars NLHE.
I am in the BB holding Q /images/graemlins/heart.gif 9 /images/graemlins/club.gif. I have $75 or so covering the table.
All 8 players call to me and I check. $4.50 in the pot.
Flop comes:
9 /images/graemlins/spade.gifQ /images/graemlins/spade.gif2 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
checked to me I bet $6.00
Folded to MP ($30 or so in his stack) who thinks a minute and calls, folded back to me.
Turn:
7 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
I didn't see any way that that card would help him beat me so I bet putting the MP all in. He calls.
River:
A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
MP turns over A /images/graemlins/spade.gif 2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif to take it down. To be honest this was not a hand I even considered. I put him on a strong Q or the flush draw. I believe from his past play he would have raised with trips.
This is a pretty typical example of the beats I have been experiancing. If it is just a bad beat thats fine because I figuer it will work out for me in the long run, but I want to see if I may be overplaying my hands on some subtle form of tilt.
Thanks in advance!
