Bad luck or bad play?

[brael]

I'd be interested in thoughts on how I played this. My thinking behind raising the pot was to try and finish the hand there and then... needless to say it didn't happen!! :$ 60/120 Tourney Texas Hold'em Game Table (PL) (Tournament 20428223) - Thu Feb 23 17:07:57 EST 2006 Table Saddle Sore (Real Money) -- Seat 2 is the button Total number of players : 9 Seat 1: elabrad (1700) Seat 2: mbiz66 (3280) Seat 3: Flomue_ (3848) Seat 4: auntbee555 (1031) Seat 5: dalead555 (1394) Seat 6: Duke_Mantee (510) Seat 7: SNOOPRocc (1855) Seat 9: eskimoedie (3678) Seat 10: checkdanutz (2704) Flomue_ posts small blind (30) auntbee555 posts big blind (60) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to elabrad [ 6c, 6h ] dalead555 calls (60) Duke_Mantee folds.

Re: Bad luck or bad play? Not despicably bad play I think. There was no flush, but a chance due to flat calling pre-flop that someone could have limped with 87, and that concern would have lessened after the turn. I think you played the 66 only in the hope of seeing trips, and were just unfortunate that some one else was doing the same. My complaint would be after the turn, but that could depend on your opinion of Flombue, if your opinion of him was bluffing chip bully then that would explain your re raise, but other than that I would have sat there thinking, "I have 2pr beat, I see only a straight draw, and only 1 over card. He can't possibly have 99 can he?" :wall :wall :wall :wall

Re: Bad luck or bad play? I had a situation yesterday when I had trips with only an overcard of a K on the flop. I bet really strongly, hoping to catch some one with 2 pr or at least a pair of kings, which I thought I did. The turn was an A and the river a J. As I'd bet so strongly I was confident I'd chased any drawers out of the pot, so on the river I went all in, confident that only a muppet could have chased the outside chance of a back door straight. Muppet 1 Valiant 0 :wall :wall :wall :wall :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Re: Bad luck or bad play? Dont think it was bad play. Would of played it the same or similar. The odds of someone having the nines was very small. But as they say "thats poker" I'm sure you will have a rye smile when this happens the other way and you have the nines hand

Re: Bad luck or bad play?

if you've got a set and someone ha shigher' date=' you can almost always wave your chips goodbye[/quote'] Agree with that. Same thing happened to me last night on P4E. I had pocket 9's, flop was Q9x. Great I thought, hopefully someone has Qx. I bet strong, he called, I bet again after the turn and we ended up all in, only for him to turn over QQ.
