Just another bad beat.

Well, in this case, perhaps. However, unlike the usual poker so story, this bad beat was foisted upon the villain.

He shows down 55. Decided to slowplay his set on the flop, made a boat on the turn (when I made my trips) and then got outboated on the river.

In the end, he flayed me with an expletive that I still can't fully translate from the asterisked Party version.


Questionable call preflop, and probably unwise to cap the river... but in between I don't see any way to get away from this hand, just to perhaps lose a bit less (usually).

In that case villan's 3 bet on the end is a mistake. He's already made it abundantly clear that trip 8s aren't good, and he shouldn't assume you're just stubborn.
