Check out this call

[luzipher]

Burned one and another time today, in the same way: runner-runner to hit the str8.

Of course I was short stacked, and think I made the right call preflop and the right move after flop (taking risks of course, but as I said I was short stacked so you don't have many chances to take a better situation).
Yes, I know he had a good stack to call, but what was thinking? That I was stealing the pot? He didn't have ANYTHING.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I would of played it the same way you did.Nothing you can do when they hit runner,runner.
I was playing cash on Paradise only because they have a big freeroll tonight and the number of times I've gone in with the best hand and winning until they catch on the river is unbelievable.
There always seems to be one player that don't matter what hand he plays he wins.I try and not take those on.

[pirates831]

eh, i think i would have just mucked it preflop. you can't be that confident with a 3 kicker that you have the best hand and there are 3 to a flush out there on the flop.

pick a better hand to play preflop eliminates this nightmare.

WOW, thats wild, and that happens a lot when the buy-in is below 5$. I really see a big difference in play when u move from sub 10 to 10+. Its crazy, not to say bad beats don't happen everywhere. Thats part of the game.
