Oh Pokerstars, why has thou forsaken me?
Ok. While this is not by any means a bad beat (she had the nuts on the flop)... pokerstars has really been beating me up lately. On the flop, I am completely giving up on this hand. They gave me a free card and there are only 2 cards in the deck that can cost me this pot. Of coarse, I hit one of them on the turn... giving me a full house. Sure, there is a chance that her betting pattern indicates that she has me beat... but it is a much greater chance that she has a lone ace or a small or middle pocket pair, or even a queen or a jack. This, combined with her small stack, commits me to the pot. Is there anyone here who gets away from this hand? Is there something to be learned here?

No, she didn't have the nuts. [/ QUOTE ] On a QQJ38 board, QJ is looking pretty good. To the OP: Keep getting your money in in this situation, on average you'll do pretty well. |

Re: Oh Pokerstars, why has thou forsaken me?
It is the nuts if that's what you're holding. However, if you're holding 33 and the board has two queens, QQ is the nuts. You don't know where the other 2 queens are.
