Bad beat

[cornell2005]

are you kidding me with this? first, when you got all in you had the nuts and you know that. second, its not even a bad beat, he had lots of outs. third, this is posted in the wrong forum

Typicall cornell pompous attitude. (high above cayugas waters through the gates of he!!. Theres 10,000 SOB's, we call them cornell.)

Its a bad beat. He probably figured it was trip 2s vs a flush draw. I see why he called, but you had every right to expect him to fold here, and its a tough (read wrong) call for him to make. Sometimes in poker the wrong calls turn out right, and vice versa. This time he just flat out got lucky on a bad call. (P.S. Go Tech)

Anyway to stop this from happening? Yeah, fold the best possible hand next time.

With 3 limpers to you, you have to figure that you will need to raise the pot to $13 to limit the field. But then with callers of that raise you will be in a rather inflated pot for AQ. So thinking this preflop, it is probably better to just limp, and play for the nut flush or a small one pair hand pot.

I don't know the numbers exactly but you were a 2:1 favourite on the flop and something like 4 or 5:1 on the turn, so when the bulk of the money went in, you had by far the best of it.

Anyway, what did you lose? 65BB? I wouldn't consider that too costly, twice that maybe. That's a shortish stack in most poker games. If you both had 100BB he wouldn't have raised all in on the turn, you would have seen the river and probably been put all in. Then it's up to you to call or fold but this is the only realistic way to escape. It's the 50BB buyin on party making people gamble this way...

Well, of course its a bad beat, but this is a pretty silly post. "Is there any way for me to avoid calling an all-in when I have the stone nuts and getting drawn out on?" Uhhhhh, nay.
