Hero raises All-in to 2052, Retard calls and shows [js][6c]. Hero has [ad][7h].

Trishan,

First off all, be nice and edit your post above and perhaps use the expression of villain.

Secondly, if villain turned his hand over and said do you want me to call what would be your most honest answer?

Thirdly, you are tangling with a chip leader who has limped UTG and you have raised OOP with a fairly shite hand. Your snap jam on the flop reeks of weakness so as a chip leader I more than likely snap you off here as well. Especially as a chip leader. So you can't fault the call that much.


Lastly, you got paid off in a position where you are a 77% favourite to win the hand. By the river you lost, it happens. A lot.

I played a $1,000 buy in event w $500 rebuys on Thursday night. 5 times I was a four to one favourite or greater when I got all my chips in the middle, I lost each time. It was an expensive night for me and I tried to make it up by drinking $1,000 of the free grog. But Live beats don't seem to tilt me as much as online does. So I understand the need to vent, just do it in a more cordial and non insulting manner.

Just got my aces cracked by A3 (they were suited so definitely calling a 9XBB raise preflop) - I love the 888PL :)

This Tourney is sooooooo deep. Started with like 750 BB! Settling in for a long night. Surely the High Rollers will start and finish before this reaches Final Table
If you ask me, Muhammed Ali in his prime was much better than anti lock brakes.
