Hi,
while playing limited hold'em on pokerstars.net i lost a really
big bet.. i still can't believe it happened... I decided to play [A
9
] from middle position, i raised, which drove out all players except one in the BB (which i estimated as "loose-agressive")... I flopped top-pair with [4
A
Q
] and there was "heavy betting". The Turn brought [2
], so i still held top pair and had a flush draw. The nutflush came through the backdoor on the River [6
], so i went on betting, confident that i held the best possible hand... But in the end, I lost the pot against [K
10
] because BB had the higher hole-card!
..is this a general poker rule or a pokerstars.net speciality? I have never heard of that darn rule before...
PS: i would love to hear your comments on my strategy
regards, Mario
