Who likes the play? There's gotta be someone. I can't just go straight betting into this flop can I?

I was actually really dissapointed in myself for not raising the river and getting the rest of his chips. Luckily, he went on tilt and I was able to get the rest w/ his stupid play.

There's a lot of draws out there, I would bet out from the get go.

Um, why exactly didn't you set him allin on the river?

I have no idea what your 'humorous' posts are supposed to mean.

It's possibly the best river card in the deck..

You tried very hard to lose a lot of money here and barely failed. Maybe next time.

*shrug*

I said beforehand the play wasn't spectacular but a 6c gives him the straight flush (however unlikely). I'd just been running really poorly today. Guess it's a lesson to not play over your head because you won't be able to maximize your ev in the most favorable of circumstances if you are playing scared.

He ended up showing 77 but still - it just added to the pain I felt today. It was ridiculous.. lost a $3000 pot with TTT22 to KKK22.

I thought some people would agree with the river call because there are some hands that you could be behind... but that really is the best card in most cases.

He showed pocket 77 and beat you, or had a pair of sevens and you won??
