Sir Fishy

I put this Bad Beat on today. I am not proud of it. Anyone think I should have folded the flop? I agree. Capped it pre-flop? lol. I really only had 15BB in by the turn and had to call a capped round. I think KQ and myself should have folded. However I was having a slightly down session and decided to see the turn, and the river if the turn gave me 4 to a flush. I would have won if I made the flush also. So I have a gutshot straight draw and a backdoor flush draw. Otherwise I am drawing dead. I was at least 5BB short of having pot odds for the call. Chances are if I make either of my hands I win. If the board pairs I was thinking I was beaten by a boat (which turned out to be true). It’s nice to be on the other side of a Bad Beat for a change! heh.

Ok. Two bets to play. K high flush draw. Some potential for the K-10 to work out. Like I said I was tired, this was my last hand of the night no matter what, and so I decide to see the flop for 2 bets. Notice that JackLoser makes his first mistake here, not 3-betting his pocket pair!

Here is where I go really crazy. I figure if I see the Q or a heart I am ok, if not I just fold and call it a night. I know it was capped. So I am being a fish for a change. Sue me. Or maybe I always play this way! Yikes!

This is the best situation I could EVER be in. I have the NUTS! I have these guys betting the hand up for me and I do not really have to do much. Actually raw stopped raising so I had to fire a shot here. I might have made more money just calling but I decided to take a chance while other people had draws and were willing to call my additional bet.

No help for the losers and Sir pulls off a miracle hand. I have no idea what raw had. He folded. Possibly a lower flush draw? He could have had the Ace high flush draw too I suppose. One question I have here. Do you think there was any collusion between raw and JackLoser? I have no idea what KQ was thinking. Possibly like me he was trying to get a straight? I wish I could have seen raws cards, because he was helping JackLoser cap the pot, and then was not even willing to see the river for 1 BET? All I can think is he was on a runner-runner flush draw, but you would not raise that on the rainbow flop? Could he have had lower trips? Would you fold trips for 1 BET on the river in a $157 pot? I would not. Anyway something to think about. JackLoser was really pissed at me! I suppose I can not blame him.

JackLoser: Nice catch [fish].
SirFWALGMan: Yeah, I thought so.
SirFWALGMan: Best card I could think of!

Shame on you Sir! Shame! Shame! Shame!
