THIS WAS THE FINAL TABLE OF A SATELLITE TO A 256 MTT SUNDAY TOURNEY ON FULL TILT, I WAS 2ND IN CHIPS AS YOU CAN SEE, WAS IN THE BIG BLIND...WHEN THIS HAND HAPPENED...I AM NOT MAD ABOUT THE CALL ON THE RIVER SO MUCH AS HIS CALL ON THE TURN...I THINK THIS GUY NEEDS HIS HEAD EXAMINED FOR THAT CALL ON THE TURN...

FROM NOW ON WHEN I FLOP A VULNERABLE HAND LIKE THIS THE HELL WITH THE VALUE BETTING IM PUSHING ALL IN ON THE FLOP....I THINK THE SICKEST PART ABOUT THIS BEAT IS THE RIVER WAS THE 6 OF DIAMONDS INSTEAD OF THE 5 OF DIAMONDS WHICH WOULD HAVE GIVEN THIS FISH WHAT HE DESERVED FOR FISHING PAST THE TURN....

Answer:

Hi ScorpKing666,

What happened to you was a real tough beat. You could definitely say that your opponent did justice to his name. You played the hand correctly, not much you can do here. And it's hard to fold on the river with so much money in the pot.

I know it's not much of a comfort, but the fact that you find players like imma_sucka online is what makes online poker so profitable for the rest of us. I think you should continue playing like you did and make the calling stations pay if they want to try to outdraw you.

Good luck!
Clark
