Worst starting hand in on-line hold'em

MycroftX · #1 11-29-2004, 04:41 PM

OK, so maybe it's an overstatement...but whenever I get these I find myself groaning...
"how much will it cost me this time?"

I'm 2/8 with rockets on my PT info page. and I'm 5/6 with Kings, so obviously it's just bad luck, but I still don't have to like it *humph*. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Could you folks PLEASE read this hand, tell me where I messed up, or was betting to strong maybe? Or is it just another example of someone getting that miracle river.
I have another couple of examples with 'Aces gone bad', but I didnt want to post too many hands, so I went with this.

Paradise Poker 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. UTG posts a blind of $0.25.

Dear lord! I want to know what SB and UTG (and CO) are doing. Both of them are cold-calling bets while playing only the board...wow.

MP2 only got to raise PF, so he could have TT. With so many in, the turn cap is probably alright though. I doubt anyone has a 2, so you probably are up against AsKs/AA/KK/TT from MP2 and a flush draw somewhere. who knows what the other fools have while the turn plays out.. i guess Tx is in there.

Looks like MP2 did have AA/KK and someone sucked out with JT. it happens.

don't post the results if you want accurate comments.

Klak · #5 11-29-2004, 04:53 PM

what did he have? it says 10 9 but he obviuosly didnt have a ten and did have a 2. what?

jfletcher · #6 11-29-2004, 04:56 PM

I think you are paranoid. I have won over 70 percent of the time with AA, including about 70 instances over some 15K hands.

I'll take AA every time.

This hand was just bad luck. I think you played it fine.

MycroftX · #7 11-29-2004, 04:57 PM

I said right in my post, I know it is just bad luck.

I simply wanted to know If I miss-played.

If I still have only won 2 times with 'em after I get them 10 more times, I'll cry to my mum.

I think the turn cap is too much. It is not inconceivable that MP2 raised PF with TT.

cnfuzzd · #9 11-29-2004, 05:02 PM

oooh,,, you were in the lead for POTD, but then i saw the one down below...

peace

I think the cap on the turn was fine. On the turn there's only 3 ways for him to have TT, and 18 ways he can have JJ-KK where he would act the same way.
