Best hand so far and story behind it.

[thaineseguy]

One to laugh at.:missingte

Had J5 diamonds and decided to play because I was already big blind.

The flop comes out all diamonds: 2 3 6
Of course I was excited to see that I flopped a flush so I placed a small bet. and two people call. Turn card comes and it's a K of spades or clubs.
River card pops out and it's a 4 of Diamonds.

At this point, I was worried. The reason why was because I was scared of the Ace of diamonds because I thought it would beat my J. I knew one of the guys had it cuz they were chasing till the end.

Anyways, he bets and instead of me raising, I just call because i'm scared my J won't be high enough.

To my surprise, I win and I'm just like :ughhh: :shocked:

I had a Straight Flush and I didn't even know it. :monsters-

Could've taken the guy out, but instead he comes back in the end and beats me later in the game.

Yes, this is a story of my stupidity. :nohead:

Over the course of your poker career this is one of the least important mistakes you will make. Don't beat yourself up about it; you won't make it again. Congrats on the straight flush.

I don't think a week goes by when I don't see someone who has the nuts fail to bet or raise it. You aren't alone.

If that is the worst mistake you are making, remind me not to play against you

Last year sometime, I was playing the Super Wednesday on Party, which is limit. I flopped the flush and we capped, turn we cap again, river isanother spade and im like fuck, he leads, I just call. Pot comes my way, whoops, the river gave me the strait flush. I lost 3 big bets right there I should have had and I ended up getting 24th in that tourney out of 600 or so. Would have been nice not to make that mistake then.

i did something like that yesterday in coushatta...luckily it was against the guy next to me who id kinda buddied up to or else i mighta got a black eye out the deal...lol

i had AQ in the BB and jus ckd.about 4 players see a rag ass flop and turn, the table had been pretty aggressive and im thinking anybody even had a pr id have seen a bet by now...if nobody bets this river im gonna make a big bet hoping noone calls or i pick it up with A high river comes down and its a Q but im only thinking about betting this A high.ckd around to the SB who bets 1000...i say out loud.."dam i guess u paired the Q"....not till the words left my mouth did i realize..i had too! i raised to 3000 and he called....KQ vs AQ....."AWWW man u set me up on that 1".....i think i was able to convince him that im so dumb i really didnt realize wat i had till after i said it....its not really hard for me to convince people im dumb.....lol
:smoking:

LoL...it's funny how often this happens. i guess it's better than thinking you have a straight when you really only have 4 cards in a row...hahah

(and yes i've done that. 5-8...Yes a straight!!! I'm a dumba$$..haha. been working on it though =D)

 

[Dominique77]

Its sad, but i have done the 4 card stright myself... Luckily it cost me enough where i never made that particular mistake again...But im sure there will more to come :nohead:

Ever see a flop like 3-K-3 and be thinking you just flopped trips and bet like it only to look again on the river and see the A-3 you thought you had in your hand is actually an A-4.
Not a good feeling but you only have to do it about once to realize it's good to look again before you bet.
We've all done stupid shit.
