Some lessons are cheap.......

some not so cheap, and you pay with your pride. How I learned to keep my emotions in check at the table: 20 minutes before I sat at the 3/6 full kill HE table they hit the bad beat jackpot for $15K. Guy that took the beat got $9K and proceeded to get DRUNK. Raised and reraised every pot every street...

Re: Set on 4-flush board.

Fold. Originally I would say call but the :ac: is just going to raise behind you. He (she) probably has :ac: :kd: and flopped the classic top pair nut flush draw. UTG +1 obviously has :jh: :js: so the board pairing could actually give someone else quads and kill our hero. Even if hero rivered the case...

Re: Winning percentages vs card odds

If you want to be a good poker player, you have to learn how to calculate different types of odds, most notably pot odds, in your head, not with the help of software. Pot odds, your chances of having the best hand on the end in relation to the size of the pot, should often determine whether or not you...

Re: Won the pot because misscounted the outs.

3 players behind you on flop- with the UTG betting into you... my hand would be in the muck right here. TURN PLAY: "UTG bets again. Well, at this point I computed 9 outs(3 aces,4 fives and 2 douces), neither of them give me nuts, but each of them will make me a winner with large probablility. I...

Re: Opinion on this hand please.......

I don't know, I probably would have folded, having two pair with the top straight draw on the board, if I had to raises ahead of me I may have folded with AJ, unless they were suited and there was a flush draw in the hunt. When I play AJ, I'm pretty cautious with it, even more so if I'm way...
