I give up. probably never playing again.

[pirates831]

Pick up QQ in the SB against an ultra-aggressive player on the button. I let him raise and smooth call preflop

($50 NL 6-max at Carbon)

Flop comes 2d 3d 2h ... I check. He bets. I raise. He pushes all-in. Thanks, ship it.

He flips 44 ... river ... 4. I'm done. I will never play with my own money again.

I don't see the problem.

If he turn AA or KK, and beat you, you still don't play again? even is he have better cards?

He could have A-2 or 3-3 and still beat you, with that flop i don't see wrong that he push with a over pair, you only call preflop, how he could know that you got a bigger pair?.

The important in here is, that if you cant afford to lose a game, why play in $50 level in first place?.

You need at least a $1500 BR to play in a $50 level, that way if this happen just go to the next game.

only play with money you can afford to lose. If you cant take bad beats take up chess

so many bad beats happen in poker thats why its important to know about bankroll management

[pirates831]

i know all about BR management. you don't need $1500 to play $50 Nl. more than $500. I still have more than 4500 left. I am withdrawing it.

If you are pushing 44 on a 223 boadr, please make sure you are sitting at my tables from now on. its such a weak hand, you deserve to lose all your money.

[Logan]

So, again, if the guy turns AA- or KK you are fine and don't post this?

And, look around for odds calculator, 44 in a 2d 3d 2h board have 65% chances to win versus 1 player in a 6max, so, maybe is a weak hand, but in this case going to win 6-7 times from every 10 games, so maybe i do want to be in your table, oh, but your post say you give up, and probably never play again

Maybe can be a good idea to read this article from Bob

The way i read this post is that Pirates will probably continue to play, just not with his own money.

Then who's money will pirate play with?

He has in the past asked me for a transfer, which i declined to give him.

Now you know the rest of the story

Now you know the rest of the story

i will play with funds won from other sources; i.e., the posting contest here; freerolls; rakeback; but will not deposit again.

and if i asked you for a transfer, it was for a SWAP. asshole.

We all got sucked on hundreds of times on the river.
That's why, to beat the game, you need good BRM and never play above your level (skill level too, not only BR).
I also don't believe in sites being rigged and geeks developing programs that can get an unfair advantage or such. besides the AP scandal I have never heard of high stakes players complaining about stuff like that. only freeroll players and micro cash game players that are very inexperienced. Being able to take a bad beat and not even going on tilt make someone a good poker player.
Sorry for my english, just my thoughts ...
