One outer
Alright, J, I had to share a little story of the one-outer on the river that just about drove me from the game.
Full Tilt Poker, probably 6 months ago.
I had been running bad for a couple of weeks and that day wasn't going much better. I was playing at a .10/.25 NL ring game and finally starting to make progress. I had run my bankroll up to around $35.00 when this happened.
I'm on the button and pick up 7-7. Three limpers and the guy before me makes it $5.00 to go. I call and two of the limpers call as well. Flop is 7-7-A and I fall out of my chair and spill beer everywhere. It checks all the way to me and I check as well, might as well trap right? Turn is a harmless 4 and one of the guys in EP leads out $1.00. The guy ahead of me raises to $10.00 and I see no need to wait any longer. I push the remaining 30 something bucks I have all-in.
Folds back around to the raiser and he insta-calls. Woo-Hoo, uh-oh. He turns over A-A for the flopped full house and what are my odds? A million to one to win? Oh no, not on this day. of course the case A hits the river and delivers a swift kick right into my nuts.
I have no problem with the way the hand was played by either of us, it was just bad luck and a recipe for going broke. Oh well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
12:50 PMThat's absolutely brutal. Just be glad it was only $35 cause I think anyone in the business of playing poker would have pushed their freaking bank account into the middle if they figured someone would call. I mean, you've got quads for folks sake.
Of course, for me, pushing my bank account in the middle would have probably been about $39.99. Give or take. And in this case, it would have been take.
