Couple of really interesting 2/4 live hands

[chief444]

Worrying about a straight with this board as you seem to realize is silly. That you seem to imply that no one is even thinking about anything other than your hand here is slightly offensive after I and others took the time to give you serious replies meant to be helpful. That you posted this as a serious question when you knew damn well you should bet but wanted to show your bad beat story is forum clutter.

Good day.

Perhaps, but I was blind to the third str8 card falling and smugly bet the river "knowing" I held the best hand. Had I have not been such a stupid idiot (I ignored the 7 as a threat and didn't consider the odds available to draw to such a longshot) my value bet would have been in light of the possiblity I didn't hold the nuts negating the tilt factor. Contrast this to hand #2 when I did hold the nuts.

I don't really understand what you're trying to say here. Are you trying to argue that you shouldn't bet the river because some super loose calling station called your bets? So what if he sucked out on you this time, it's still one of the easiest value bets ever, as you already said he'll call down with all kinds of crap.

If you're even considering checking here, I think you need to reevaluate your river play.

Please read my response a little more carefully - #1 it wasn't a bad beat and #2 "worrying" about the str8 wasn't my point which is: value bet your good hands but falling in love with your good hands to the point that you are oblivious to any possible hands out there that beat you, however remote, is foolish and sets one up for tilt which in my case f'ed up the rest of the session for me. "Worrying" about a longshot str8 has never an excuse for me to miss bets but don't get pissed like I did and screw up a loose, profitable situation because some fish sucked you out on the river. It's tilt prevention, not MUBS.

Your problem isn't value betting with the non-nuts. Its tilt.

Move this crap to the rubber room please.
