stuff happens playa

I would have probablly reraised the flop though. You want people to pay to see a low hand.

[sy_or_bust]

You probably should have won this pot on the flop.

[m bozeman]

That was an option. However, how often do you get quads, let alone flop them? Since there was three players in the hand, I figured even if the low did come, and they both had a low, I would have them quartering each other. Also, with the quality of players at Party, I was hoping maybe one of them would catch a straight, or a flush, or maybe a boat, and they would pay me off. Oh well, like the one guy said, stuff happens.

[sy_or_bust]

I really think raising big on the flop is the only option. The vast vast majority of players who will call the flop bet have some low draw. At such a low price, you are giving up too much by checking and calling. I would check and pot-raise.

I love his value-call with the nuts on the river

If they had hands where it was possible for them to hit a low and make some straights, then they would have paid for the priviledge if you'd led out on the flop.

There was a dollar left.
