The Opposite of Bad Beats....
(WARNING... LOW CONTENT. Just something that made me smile)
May I start by saying I thought no one was going to pay me. I was dealt pocket aces three times within my first 12 hands, made the standard raise and everyone folded. I didn't think anyone was going to pay me off on anything tonight. I know these are straight forward, but they were so fun. I played these hands on 2 different tables within 2 minutes of each other. We all experience bad beats, so it was such a nice change of pace to make 2 major hits in a row. There's no real issues with these.

Re: The Opposite of Bad Beats....
In the same vein:
5-handed online NL Preflop: Limp, 2 folds, Villain completes (~115 BB), Hero checks T9o (covers). Flop (3 BB): A76r Villain checks, Hero bets 2 BB, limper folds, Villain check-raises to 6 BB, Hero calls 4 BB. Turn (15 BB): 8, 2nd of a suit Villain bets 8 BB, Hero raises to 35 BB, Villain calls 27 BB. River (85 BB): 3, no flush Villain checks, Hero bets 50 BB, Villain calls 50 BB. Results in white: <font color="white">Villain had A6, aces up. Hero wins 185 BB-rake with a straight. Villain: Keep drawing to inside straights. Hero: Sorry, I thought my T-high was good. Villain tilts. </font> I'll happily pay 4 BB for a gutshot if I get 100 BB when I hit. |

You're taking worse than 3:1 on an 11:1 shot. Luckily for you villian connected very well with the board. Most of the time I think villian folds with less than 2 pair and you don't get paid off. Do you continue spewing chips if you don't catch the turn? JMO |

JMO [/ QUOTE ] not chip spewing at all. if villain had just lead the flop, i'd probably fold. in this case, the check-raise clues me in that he has a pretty big hand, giving Hero very good implied odds. implied odds are used far too often only preflop when you really should think about them post-flop as well. if villain shows enough strength that i expect to be able to take his stack if i hit a gutshot on the next card, then i'd call the 4BB as long as villains stack is at least 60BB. |

Re: The Opposite of Bad Beats....
I kinda liked this one since it was revenge for Villian CALLING all-in and pulling a 3 outer with Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] on a T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] board when I had the 2 red kings.
