a UB special
well for once i'm going to tell of a "bad beat" that worked in my favour :
i'm on a 6 player ring game at ultimatebet. i get dealt A Q off suit, i have early position and raise 3 times the blind. the only caller is the winner of the last hand (with a heart flush) and the flop comes A Q 5 all hearts. i make a small probing bet and my oppenent then makes a small re-raise which i call. the turn comes a 6D .....
now i'm thinking that probably my oppenent (a fairly loose player) has an ACE and maybe a flush draw, the only thing i'm really worried about is a possible set. so i bet a little more aggressively and my oppenent goes all in which doubles the pot. my pot odds are around 50/50 but i feel i'm ahead and so call. how wrong can you be, she had hit another heart flush on the flop and i was behind. my oppenent had played the hand perfectly but luckily for me a Q comes on the river and i make a full house.
and here's the coda :
the same player immediately rebuys and the very next hand goes all in with an A K off suit after hitting the K on the turn only to meet someone with 2 Aces !
makes you wonder ........welcome to online poker !
