How are you doing?<br /><br />I haven't blogged in ages myself.<br /><br />I barely play bridge any more and only get in a little poker now and then. Speaking of which, I was at the Detroit MGM a few months back and it was a pretty surreal casino experience. Different from any other casino I'd been to. The "high limit" room started at a meager $50/bet on a Saturday night. They had a table game there that is dealt nowhere else in the world. When I went to play poker, I asked the floor guys if we could run it twice and he asked me what that meant. I sat in a 1/3 PLO game but the min call/bet was actually $5! You should give it a try if you haven't been!<br /><br />As far as the bad beat you described, it's only feels insanely bad because of how the board ran out. Mathematically, the AK guy had runner runner A, runner runner K, and runner runner 2 as outs, which isn't that bad, certainly not as bad as this hand I remember: http://ramblingsandgamblings.blogspot.com/2009/07/poker-at-south-point-weirder.htmlThe Pretenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344696445428286985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180192357104553952.post-59220117966243120952017-09-28T11:56:59.898-05:002017-09-28T11:56:59.898-05:00saw something similar to this years ago player A q...saw something similar to this years ago player A qq player B AK flop Q1010 turn and river a 10 geezerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17062173958381062515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180192357104553952.post-34286115002164955872017-09-27T17:49:26.838-05:002017-09-27T17:49:26.838-05:00Years ago I was playing 10/20 limit Texas Hold-em....Years ago I was playing 10/20 limit Texas Hold-em. There were 9 players at the table. 6 of us maxed the raises pre-flop with $40 each going in ($240 in the pot). I had AA. The flop came A,10,6 rainbow. 5 of us maxed out the bets on the flop. ($440 in the pot). The turn brought a 2 with no flush possible. 4 of us maxed out the bets; ($320 that round with $770 total in the pot). The river was another 2. I felt so confident with my hand being Aces full & to lose a $1,000 pot playing limit poker to some guy that played 22 the whole way caused my jaw to hit the floor. Wild game. ohcwowboy12goAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180192357104553952.post-51214052982396907172017-09-27T10:53:23.741-05:002017-09-27T10:53:23.741-05:00Have you seen anything worse than this?
Of course...<i>Have you seen anything worse than this?</i><br /><br />Of course I have. JJ was 99.3% favorite on the flop. The hand that happened to me (http://mrsubliminal.blogspot.com/2017/06/my-worst-bad-beat-ever.html), quads beaten by a straight flush, was even worse as I was a 99.7% favorite on the flop.Mr Subliminalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695144984530658902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180192357104553952.post-67503681679041623322017-09-26T19:35:37.716-05:002017-09-26T19:35:37.716-05:00That's a hand you remember all your life, whet...That's a hand you remember all your life, whether you win, lose, or just witness it.The Neophytehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11606959676407800658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180192357104553952.post-75254425503198542372017-09-26T15:39:00.901-05:002017-09-26T15:39:00.901-05:00I don't even know what language you're spe...I don't even know what language you're speaking! :)Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180192357104553952.post-77636293230478453852017-09-26T13:51:24.309-05:002017-09-26T13:51:24.309-05:00pretty sure you can't have anything worse than...pretty sure you can't have anything worse than this in Holdem, mathematically.matt taghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082969194551315973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180192357104553952.post-76870932908448966772017-09-26T11:37:13.454-05:002017-09-26T11:37:13.454-05:00There are hands you always remember.
