So really, how much moeny does Big Slick cost you in a full ring

[webiggy]

Party 2/4 - full ring.

I don't suppose that this ever happens to anyone else out there, but I recently discovered that having big slick hit top pair isn't all it's cracked up to be. Even flopping trips can be perilous. If anything, I decided that after this beat I should take a minute and read some hands.

Our Hero is on the Button and is dealt A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif K /images/graemlins/club.gif

UTG calls
all fold to OH who raises
SB Calls
BB Calls
UTG Calls - four to the flop

Flop comes A /images/graemlins/club.gif 3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif K /images/graemlins/spade.gif

SB bets
BB calls
UTG folds
Hero calls (tactical mistake?)

Turn {A /images/graemlins/club.gif 3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif K /images/graemlins/spade.gif} 5 /images/graemlins/spade.gif

The frenzy begins!
SB Bets
BB Calls
Hero Raises
SB re-raises
BB Calls two bets
Hero Caps - all call

In retrospect, I should have smelled Denmark, but my excitement was causing a Westerly wind.

River {A /images/graemlins/club.gif 3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif K /images/graemlins/spade.gif 5 /images/graemlins/spade.gif} 7 /images/graemlins/club.gif

SB Checks
BB Checks
Our Hero stupidly bets
sb calls
BB raises
hero re-raises, then realizes - ooops - there's a straight on the board
the rest call

Hero shows Aces over Kings loses $34
SB shows three of a kind - Aces - loses $34
BB shows straight to the five - nets $68 - ouch!

I don't feel as bad as the guy with three aces must feel, but damn, I guess I should've slowed my roll a bit.

If you toss AKo and AKs together they cost me about
-$3.82/hand

[sfer]

What's that converted to BBs?

[Nottom]

about -.64 or so

(-1.36 for AKs, -0.46 for AKo)

[sfer]

Thanks. I'm relieved to be in the ballpark (although troubled that suited earns less).

Okay, maybe I'm just really confused and stupid right now, so let me make sure I'm understanding this. You're losing money with AKo and AKs, Nottom???

GoT

[AceHigh]

That's just wrong. Tell me you sample size is very small.

GOT,

I think Nottom forgot his [sarcasm] brackets. At least I hope so or I am totally confused as well. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Nottom]

no, i'm losing about -0.64BB/hand ... which of course means I'm winning.

[GuyOnTilt]

Thank you. I feel much better now that my faith in you is restored. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
