I usually don't post these, but these happened on back to back hands (though on different tables) and I was pretty steaming so I hope I'll feel better after posting them.
NLHE $100 table, I'm in cut off+1, 2 limpers, I raise 3x BB with T
9
, Cut-off calls, BB calls, MP calls. Pot has $17.50. Flop comes 6
7
8
, sweet i flopped nut straight. Checked to me, I bet $15 to discourage any heart draws. Cut off raises to $30, BB and MP folds. I figure either PP or set, I call. Pot has $77.50. Turn is 3
. Now I know what your thinking, the guy has a flush..but that would'nt be a bad beat in my book. I don't put him on a flush draw, cause he should called my bet instead of raising the turn. I push my last $62.50 in the pot. He calls and show 7
7
. Hmm lets see according two dimes a 77-23 favorite. He has ten outs so of course board pairs on river and he gets his boat and yes he didn't have pot odds to call if he put me on flush or straight.
Even though I was a 3.5 to 1 favorite, that got me mildly upset. I've had worse beats. It was the next hand that did it. I am also playing 2 $100 PLO tables when this hand comes up almost at the same time.
In the SB, I limp with K
K
7
3
. 5 of us see the flop. Flop comes out T
K
7
. I flop top set with low flush draw. I bet the pot, $5, BB folds, UTG raise to $9.5, Button folds, I re-raise pot to $33.25, UTG calls all-in. He flips over T
T
9
8
, so he has set of Tens and a straight draw. Again per two dimes I am a 77-23 favorite. Turn is a 2
, sweet now his straight outs are no good and I am a 98.5-2.5 favorite. River is a T
and he hits his one out for quads.
Thanks for listening, I think I feel better already.
