i'm almost too embarassed to even post this...(basically LC)

...but hey, what the hell. i thought i'd share this interesting hand with all of you fine people, even though i'll most likely lose respect. i played this hand a few nights ago, and ranks as the biggest "holy sh*t, why are they sliding the pot my way" hands i've ever seen. so here we go, the worst hand i've ever played:

empire NL$100 6 max

reads: villain is ultra aggressive, around a 35/25/5.0. he's starting to F with me, raising my continuation bets, etc. likes to gamble

hero's table image is semi-laggish, raising a lot of pots followed by a continuation bet. after several bad beats at other tables, he's starting to go on *tilt*. oh, the dangers of tilt...

hero is dealt [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]5 is BB, villain is SB

villain's stack ~$102.00, hero covers

preflop: folded around to the blinds. villain raises to $3, hero calls $3.

flop: [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8 (~$7)
SB bets $7, hero raises to $22, villain pushes, hero contemplates and finally makes a bad call on basically a 45% chance of winning...

turn: [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q (~204.00 in pot)

river: [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]10

villain flips over [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3

hero wins $204.00 with a 7 high (obviously based on an amazing read, right?)

crazy game this is...

Fold preflop.

On the flop, you raise to 22, then villain pushes, so there is 44+6 in the pot=50
Villains raise is another 75 right? you have to call 75 to win 125?

Thats 3/2 on your money. Your are coinflipping against an overpair. Villain MAY have a set or bigger flush draw here though. I think its close...

i think you played it fine given villains range of hands on the flop.

Fold preflop.

ehh probably. reason i called was because villain liked to steal blinds, i had position, but most importantly, if that flop hits me right, i'm stacking villain more times than not with his 5.0 aggro. factor. seemed like +EV at the time due to implied odds.

Meh. Probably OK.

Come talk to me when you win a showndown hand with 6 high, as yours truly has done. (Granted we weren't all-in, and no one even bet postflop)

Was is a $204 pot? IMO a 7-high $204 pot is much impressive than an $0.85 6-high victory [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I believe the pot was $2.50 thank-you-very-much. 62 in the BB vs. one lone limpers 54, final board of AAKK3. Ahhh, poker memories....

Nothing gets rid of tilt quicker than winning a hand like this one.

And I wonder how bad his tilt factor became after that event.
