Haha poker is funny (low content)

[Ghazban]

I've been running pretty mediocre the past couple days so I looked at PT to see if there was anything there that would explain it. I saw that, in the past 1000 hands, I had a pocket pair and saw the flop 41 times and didn't flop a set a single time (pretty rare, but nothing to write home about).

So a few hands later, I call a minraise in the SB with 55 and the flop comes 542r. Huzzah! I get it all in against a guy with pocket 9s. Turn is a 7, river is.... a 9.

Bad beat? Sure, but it was a darn funny one. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Don't worry, it just means that you're due.

Expect to get all in pre-flop with KK against someone's aces, suck out on the river, then get a whole lot more money out of him after he tilts.

Expect your 72o in the BB to take a huge pot off of a failed limp re-raise from UTG.

Trust me, it always happens, 'cause you're due.

Thanks, I'll definitely remember this! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

OOC, you should have hit about 3 sets in those 41 hands, right? (though you should have got about 50 pairs instead of 41, right?)

I forget who said it...."luck is just probability taken personally."

Given the choice between laughing or getting pissed off, I will always choose laughing. I got my money in with way the best of it-- no point in getting mad over something I can't control.

"I saw that, in the past 1000 hands, I had a pocket pair and saw the flop 41 times and didn't flop a set a single time"

Is there a way to see this in PT other than by filtering by pairs only and manually looking at the hands?

Have to add an amusing fishing experience I had today at PP50. I'm catching some cards and playing my normal game when I don't (bullying when appropriate). It's working quite well. Then some guy says in chat:

Villain: seems like tree stump has hit every flop hes played ....
Villain: is anybody else noticing that trend ...

I'm smiling and laughing my ass off at this point. Three hands later, it's folded to me in the small blind. I complete with QTo (didn't raise b/c Villain was the BB, and I had a feeling). He checks, and the flop comes JT7r. I pot it, thinking he's got crap. He calls. I check the turn (7), he leads for 1/2 the pot, and I call. Then a blank hits the river and I lead (pot size) - playing that psychological game. Sure enough, he thinks for a while and calls with crap, then says:

Villain: had to seem one
Villain: *see

I love it!

Not that I know of; I looked at them all manually

thanks. I couldn't find anything, but I thought I might be missing something.
