CO balance $0, lost $35.17 [ 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ] [ a straight, ace to five -- A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img],5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img],4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img],3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img],2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ]

After the hand CO lays into me about how he thought I was good, bla bla bla. So I told him that I'd post the hand here and see what you all thought. He didn't know what 2+2 was.

So, how was my play. Was it a bad all in call considering my stack and my number of outs?

Your hand isn't the reason you deserve the insults. This is:

I think calling the turn bet was ridiculous.

No, you didn't deserve the insults, as your opponent(s) should have celebrated the fact you made this call on his turn bet.

If someone made a call like this, I'd make a note of it, and welcome them at my table any time.

The only thing worse than the way you played the hand is that you might have brought 6 more people here.

Although judging from the way you played the hand, it seems like a lot of people who claim to read this board manage not to learn anything anyway, so maybe it wasn't that big of a deal.

Default Re: TWO BONEHEAD MOVES

(1) considering pot odds, calling the all-in was HORRIBLE...
(2) why would you tell other players about 2+2?...
