Poker Rant

:mad::mad::mad:

Don't you just hate when you play with someone at a single table tourney and they think they are very good, but in actuality they are really bad and easy to read.

I just finished a single table tournament over at Paradise Poker and I went heads up down:


Seat 4: patchrock (8,330.00 in chips)
Seat 5: kingfc22 (1,670.00 in chips)

This guy had been saved twice on lucky river draws earlier and should have finished in 8th or 9th.

Sb=100 Bb=200

1st hand I'm dealt {Ac,8d}. I raise to 400, he calls
Flop comes [ Th 5d 6d ]. I bet and he calls.
Turn comes [ 7c ]. I bet and he raises me all-in. I fold.

At this point it is now:
Seat 4: patchrock (9,130.00 in chips)
Seat 5: kingfc22 (870.00 in chips)

2nd hand I'm dealt bullets and go all-in and double up.</pre>


Few hands later it is:
Seat 4: patchrock (8,260.00 in chips)
Seat 5: kingfc22 (1,740.00 in chips)

5th hand I'm dealt [Kd,7d]. He raises to 400 and I call.
Flop comes [ 5d 9c Ad ]. He bets 200 and I just call.
Turn comes [Ah]. He goes all in. I figure he is bluffing like he has the rest of the game and call with the nut-flush draw.
River comes [ Ks ]. He turns over [3s,2s]. I win.

That hand made it:
Seat 4: patchrock (6,520.00 in chips)
Seat 5: kingfc22 (3,480.00 in chips)

And I continue to make my comeback against this chump.

12th hand

Sb=150 Bb=300

Seat 4: patchrock (7,320.00 in chips)
Seat 5: kingfc22 (2,680.00 in chips)

I'm dealt [Js,Qd]. I limp in and he checks.
Flop comes [ 9h Ad Jc ]. He checks to me and I bet 300 and he calls.
Turn comes [ Kc ]. He bets 300. At this point I think he might have K-high or a low-pair. I call with the st8 draw.
River comes [ Qh ]. He bets 300. I figure if he had the st8 he would have bet strong, so I raise with my 2 pair up to 600 to see what he'll do. He raises me back and I decide to go all-in.

I turn over my 2 pair and he only has [ 8d 9c ].

I've now worked myself to the chip lead:
Seat 4: patchrock (4,640.00 in chips)
Seat 5: kingfc22 (5,360.00 in chips)

15th hand starts out:
Seat 4: patchrock (5,090.00 in chips)
Seat 5: kingfc22 (4,910.00 in chips)

I'm dealt [Js,Jd]. YES!!! He raises to 600 and I go all-in figuring I have him beat because the guy can't play. He calls.

He turns over [6d,6h]:D

I've knocked this guy around and this will make my comeback complete.

But wait:
Flop comes [ 5h Tc 6c ]. :mad: Son of a bitch. This fool is going to get lucky again.
Turn comes [ 7h ]
River comes [ 8c ]


Damn. Just had to vent. I hate it when you outplay someone to make up a 10 to 1 chip differential, just to lose it on a bad beat.

Awful. Bad beats are by far the worst part of poker (but a part of the game nonetheless). Venting=good :)

No I usually hope for that.

[kingfc22]

No I usually hope for that.
Me too. Should of added and in the end they actually win.

Played my first tournament with over 20 particpants.
Made it to the final two and lost it on this hand

My draw: As, Ah
So I'm feeling great OFCOURSE!

Flop: K,K,K :eek:
4th: Ad

So I go all-in knowing the only way I can lose is if he has two diamonds and draws another on the 5th OR has the King

Him: Kc, 7c

5th street with a dud

Oh well $200 for my $50 investment was still cool

So I go all-in knowing the only way I can lose is if he has two diamonds and draws another on the 5th...

Thay'd better be pretty good diamonds... like Broadway types, with a one-outer there. Only a royal flush could beat your boat here, short of the obvious fourth king.
