Yeah, could i play this hand again i totaly agree that i should have bet the turn. I was kind of pissed at myself for not betting there, but, i just couldn't tell by then if it was a scarecard for him aswell or if it had put me way behind. And another bet there would have made it impossible for me to fold if he had called. Knowing his cards now i'm sure he would have folded to another bet, absolutely if i had moved all-in. Instead i put myself in this difficult spot.
But it's always easy afterwards... in the heat of the moment, it's a totaly diffrent thing.
Oh, and i agree with aiming for the first place. Thats also one of the reasons that i chose to call, since if my read of the situations was correct it would put me in a great spot for finishing first while the diffrence between 12 or 8 k wouldn't matter equally much, i'd still be pretty comitted once i start putting chips in the middle.
Well, there was this one other call in this tournament that might amuse. Like i said, there was some fish involved. Blinds at 200/400. I'm in sb with about 10 k and being delt
. Folded around to me, i call bb knowing he will most likely not raise his blind.
Flop comes
giving me a flushdraw. So, i bet 600. He instantly calls. Turn is
giving me a few more outs, so i bet another 1000 to the pot. he instantly calls. River is
. Bummer. Well, i figure that it's good chance he has been on the same draw as me and that he will fold to a another bet. I make it 2k, half of what was already in the pot. He instantly call and i'm prepared to throw my cards in the muck as he flips over
for absolutely nothing and a split pot. I've never seen anything like it, i actually can't see a grown person make such a horiffic call. What was he aiming for? Even if he put me on a bluff, which i doubt, the best thing he could wish for was a split. I'm really sorry, but i couldn't resist falling in to laughter when he showed what he had called with. That's just amazing hillarious stuff. Also, taking this hand into account, it's a good point you make gw about instant calling a flushdraw.
