I hate both spots. Can't get out of them, but can't not get out of them. That's poker, huh? Rough way to lose KK, though. The second one, I dunno. You weren't all that far ahead, were you? He's got a bunch of outs.

Wow, that board looks frightenly similar - check this out!

The second one, I dunno. You weren't all that far ahead, were you? He's got a bunch of outs.

yeah only 77% favorite.

But sometimes you have to gamble

Be careful, they might use this post in a court of law to prove skill is trumped by luck in poker.

i know the story, had the same thing happen to me. I flopped a flush, he's got a pair and turn/river make him a full house I called him all-on the flop too, tournaments can be harsh mistresses

Great.

I've had four SnGs this week when I was all in and ahead on the flop (sometimes waaaayyyy ahead) and villian made runner-runner to build straights around his weak kicker.

[kingetje]

according to this site http://www.cardplayer.com/poker_odds/texas_holdem, you were a 61% favorite in that second hand.

he could catch an A, J, T, 9 or spade...


still dirty though... havent played a tourney in AGES
