Default Re: Worst River of my life

It ranks up as one of the worst. The way you say it, you make out like this isn't a terrible river card. With the size of the pot in relation to the number of outs that can beat me, I'd definitely say it ranks up as one of the worst.

So, he has two nines and two two Aces that win him the pot on the river. That's 4 out of the 44 cards in the deck, so this will happen 1 out of every 11 times you're in this situation. As you'll learn, losing to 4-outers isn't really a very big deal.

On the flop, if he has Ah, he's going to win 1/3 of the time by the time you get to the river. So, again, losing this hand isn't really a big deal.

Of course, it sucks when you flop a set and turn a full house and still lose. But it happens.
