In a minute I will set the scenario and would like to know your thoughts
on this hand, my play and advise or kudos that you may feel appropriate.
I was in middle position the blinds were 200/100 there were two callers
to me and I raised it up 500. I had QJs. Everyone folded to the button
and he called and the blinds left. The fop was as follows:
10d, Jc, 8h
With no raise from the button before the flop, now with top pair and one
over card and not much cash left I bet 500 and the button calls. The
turn mad the board look like this:
10d, Jc, 8h, Qd
With top two pair and a gut shot I moved all in. The button (who had a
lot of chips and was killing the table by playing poorly and drawing out
often) called me. The River was a Ks, leaving the final board:
10d, Jc, 8h, Qs, Ks
The button turns a pair of Cowboys (Kh,Kd) giving him all the cash with
a set of Kings to my Queens up.
I tried to pick my spot with low chips and got rivered......did I get
what I deserved.....or is this a bad beat.......or what?
Help from everyone is welcomed while I lick my wounds. By the way, even
though I didn't cash this was the most exciting form of poker I've ever
played. Up to my final play I was all in four times, once with a pair of
aces and the man to my left also had a pair of aces. he had the heart
and on the turn the Qh came giving him a freeroll at me on the river.
Lucy for me he drew a blank. 24 hours later I'm still pumped and pissed.
Just needed to share this......thanks for listening.
