Note: this table was full of fish. Not a single decent player.

Um, pretty sure that I would not try a squeeze against a reraise.

By the way, I've been reading over some of the archives in the SnG forum and I think reading this will help give you some excellent perspective. Good luck.

LOL - yeah, I read this post more or less everyday... Probably the best post on 2+2 forums ever... (apart from the 5-yr-olds thread on OOT of course [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img])
I do want to point out that this is my first (and I hope last) bad beat post.
I have gotten much better with bad beats and they don't really affect me too much anymore. This was one of the time when it did. I still need to work on this.

I'm not sure this is really a bad beat post as much as a crazy/bizarre hand post. I mean you got all you money in with A-Qo preflop in a three way pot. I expect to lose that hand 90% of the time.

Please look at the betting pattern, note that there are only 2 people raising and the others are merely calling.

Look, I'm not trying to be a jerk, honest. But I don't think you're being honest enough with yourself on this hand. You posted this as a bad beat post because you wanted everyone to see what a great play you made against two idiots and how lucky they got. They are without doubt idiots, but I think you have to look at your own play. I can almost guarentee you that 90% of the people who read your post were wondering what you thought you were doing here. You can try to explain it all you want, but you're really only defending it. Dig deeper into your own play and be self-critical. There's just no justification for the way you played this hand. It turns out that you happened to have the best hand preflop, but honestly, how many times is that going to happen? I expect to see at least 2-2 a fair number of times here...Be honest with yourself. If you keep doing things like this, you're going to lose a lot of money. And again, I'm not trying to be confrontational, so please don't take it that way.

this is a retarded post eclipsed only by the manner in which hero played the hand.

*yawn*

This is really not that bad a beat.

I think you overplayed your hand despite what everyone had.

Posts like this aren't very useful unless you're looking for criticism of your play, in which case don't post results.

Isn't the aim of poker to take the actions you would take if you were able to see your opponent's cards and to force your opponents to not take similar actions and therefore make "mistakes"? (cf. Theory of Poker, Sklansky)

Therefore, how can you say that I played badly?? I may have had information that you are not exposed to that made me believe I was in front of all villains, and I was right. I played my hand as I would have done if I had seen everyone's cards. My play/read, far from being bad, was perfect. And I got lucked out on by fish.

Regardless, the original aim of this post was not to show how BAD a beat it was... or how bad/great my play was... it was just to show that 25NL party idiots are willing to go to the felt with junk.
