Results in white below: <font color="white">
Hero has 9d 9h (four of a kind, nines).
MP1 has Ac Jc (straight flush, queen high).
Outcome: MP1 wins 19 BB. </font>

Regardless of the results, with the board this draw heavy on the flop should i have check raised instead of betting out on the flop? On the turn only a straight flush is beating me and i decided to call instead of check raise or bet out(i don't want to lose him if he has the straight or is drawing to it). I was thinking i could make up any bets on the river that i'm losing on the turn, and quad nines is too good to risk having him fold.

Obviously I usually like the river here, now the lone Ac is going to go to war with me. In this case it didn't work out, but i can't think of any reason to not go 4 bets here. I'll admit this is a bit of a bad beat post, but just want to see if anyone thinks i could have gotten more bets in for those times i'm winning this, which is a lot more often than i'm losing it (on the turn and river anyway).

MP1 capped the flop and bet out the turn. He's not going anywhere. Cap the turn.

Re: 99 in EP
 

That call on the turn really sucked. Cap it baby.

Re: 99 in EP
 

Check-raise the turn. He clearly likes his hand and isn't going anywhere.

Re: 99 in EP
 

Did you throw up and break anything after that hand?

Re: 99 in EP
 

I didn't. He might have.

Re: 99 in EP
 

Good point, thanks. I guess i definitely left bets on the table.

Re: 99 in EP
 

I'm usually pretty calm, even if I get beat by a 3 outer on the river, since i understand the person chasing is paying me off overall, but yah, i did not react well at all to that. Still, thinking about it now i'm madder that i left three bets on the table on the turn. But man, i did not in my wildest dreams think i was losing that hand. This is actually the first hand i've played that would and lost that would qualify for a typical bad beat jackpot, except that only one of his cards played. I've never lost with quads before, so i guess i lost that cherry [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

If you were playing on the party bad beat tables you would have made about $10,000 for that one, that would be cool.

Both cards don't have to play for the straight flush?
