Default anyone ever fold a great hand because you didn\'t realize it?

How embarassing.

Playing 2 tables last night. I hit a set of 3's on a flop of 73A.

Modest action. Turn comes, another A, I bet, and another player raises. I think damn, he must have trip A's now, so I fold.

2 hours later, laying in bed, the lightbulb hits; I had a boat against his trips... All I can think of is I was distracted by something going on at the other table. Or I'm a giant fish (which is probably more likely)

Argh! [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Once when I was tired I had KJ offsuit with a board of
A A 7 7.

It had been checked around on the flop, then a player bet the turn, I called being reasonably sure that he didn't have anything. The river came a 4, we both checked and he showed

J 4.

I mucked my hand, cursing the river before I realized that I'd thown away the best hand.... [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] I then cashed out and took a nap

I folded a full house on the river on pokerroom.com a couple of months after I started playing, so I'm very careful now [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Anyone and everyone will do it occasionally.

No, but lost $15+ (1/2 game) once because I thought I had a full house. Didn't realize it till after the hand was over...boy did I feel stupid.

Misreads suck.

Four color decks are awesome.

Now that I've used one on Stars for so long, I just can't go back. I've tried multitabling without 4-color decks and it's a lot harder. I mixed up diamonds and hearts way too often, and was just careless.

Two nights ago at my local B&M I folded the nut flush on the river because i thought my AQo had gone unimproved. I knew it a millisecond after the cards hit the muck. Maybe I've become too dependent on 4 color decks. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
