I really need to stop smoking crack before I play

[Zach]

I get delt: Q 8

Flop comes: 9 J 7

I check

He does: All-in $ 960.78

I think: Zach .. rather stupid to go in - he has a flush draw, ya know it. Just dump the straight, live to fight another day.

I do: All-in $ 890.00

He shows: K 2

I pray: No Club, No Club

Turn: A

I pray: No Club, No Club

River: Q

I pray: Thank you god for no club.


I then start to post how stupid I am for going all in with a straight ... when I knew without a shadow of a doubt that he had a good high flush draw.

Should have dumped my straight - the other player only has to hit once and I am done. Maybe not this time, maybe not next time ... but sooner or later.

... somewhere in the middle of posting all that - I have come to realize that I am a complete moron... one lucky ass moron at that

[jacks_off4me]

yeah somehow i think that any 10 would be nice here/ lol! good for you

[snowfish]

Yeah, did not yet know that we have straights with bridges over the "10"

[Zach]

Still playing in this tourney.

A few hands after that - I am little blind, rather short stacked still.

Big blind has 10,000+ (and as you can see by the numbers above - thats a world away from me)

I have 62o ... just chuck in the other 20 or whatever it was then.

Flop comes... Q 6 6

I check

I smile

Big blind bets 1,500 or so... I have 2,500 or so at this point... everyone else folds out.

Ya buddy ... thank ya .. really really do.

He calls ...

He shows A 6

I cry

Turn ... 8

River .... Q


.... I think I am going to church tonight.

[Zach]

Well.. now that I think about it.

Maybe if I should see if Brian May is in town instead

[donkey]

i am completely confused by this post. are you calling yourself a moron for going in on a straight when you really didn't have one or......are you praying no club and two clubs come and you say thank god for no club?

.. um ... did I happen to mention that I am a complete moron yet?


Same tourney (suits dont matter)

big blind is 1,600 - I have 17,000ish - other guy has 17,000ish

Me: J A - raise to 3,200

One caller

Flop: Q A 10

Check to me

I bet 1,600

He pushes back

I push back ... he pushes .. I push ... bam we are both all in - much to his delight.

He shows K J

I cry ... again.

River: A

Turn: J

I thought I had a straight the entire time ... even after the hand I thought I had a straight.

The only reason I actually discovered I didnt have a straight was because I was going to post something here about that straight vs a flush draw ...
