anyone ever fold a great hand because you didn\'t realize it?
How embarassing.
Playing 2 tables last night. I hit a set of 3's on a flop of 73A. Modest action. Turn comes, another A, I bet, and another player raises. I think damn, he must have trip A's now, so I fold. 2 hours later, laying in bed, the lightbulb hits; I had a boat against his trips... All I can think of is I was distracted by something going on at the other table. Or I'm a giant fish (which is probably more likely) Argh! [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] |

Once when I was tired I had KJ offsuit with a board of
A A 7 7. It had been checked around on the flop, then a player bet the turn, I called being reasonably sure that he didn't have anything. The river came a 4, we both checked and he showed J 4. I mucked my hand, cursing the river before I realized that I'd thown away the best hand.... [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] I then cashed out and took a nap |

I folded a full house on the river on pokerroom.com a couple of months after I started playing, so I'm very careful now [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Anyone and everyone will do it occasionally.

UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, MP3 calls, CO folds, Button folds, Hero folds, BB checks. Flop: (3.50 SB) J, 6, J (3 players) |

No, but lost $15+ (1/2 game) once because I thought I had a full house. Didn't realize it till after the hand was over...boy did I feel stupid.
Misreads suck. |

I did that with a flush once..... I've been using 4-color decks ever since....

Four color decks are awesome.
Now that I've used one on Stars for so long, I just can't go back. I've tried multitabling without 4-color decks and it's a lot harder. I mixed up diamonds and hearts way too often, and was just careless. |

But when another card comes on the board, my first reaction is ALWAYS, "Damn, he just beat my set." Then a second later, I remind myself that now I have the full house before taking all his money. |

Four color decks are awesome. [/ QUOTE ] Two nights ago at my local B&M I folded the nut flush on the river because i thought my AQo had gone unimproved. I knew it a millisecond after the cards hit the muck. Maybe I've become too dependent on 4 color decks. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] |
