A Bad Beat that could have been worse...

Postby DaHitDogg » Mon Oct 24, 2005 8:08 pm

Party Pooper $0.50/$1.00 Full Ring

4 limpers to me in the BB w/ 6h3h, I of course check
Pot = $5
Flop is 4h5d7h Giving me a made straight and inside straight flush draw -- nice!!
I lead out for $5 hoping to get raised...no such luck UTG+1 calls so does MP (all of us have full stacks)
Pot=$20
Turn = Ad (lovely brick)
I bet $20 - UTG+1 calls, MP folds
(I've seen UTG+1 call down on flush draws twice in the last 2 orbits so that's what I put him on - I'm hoping the Ace hit him)
Pot=$60
River = 7c (possible full house, but I'm thinking a set would have raised by now) I decide to check and possibly induce a bluff since a busted flush draw, even w/ a pair of Aces is unlikely to call a sizable bet)
Opponent bets $30 which seems like a bluff, I call and he shows (drum roll please) Ac7s for a runner-runner full house!

Well that sucked, but after cleaning the vomit off my keyboard I realized that I made a really good play there. If he had missed I gave myself the most likely way to win some additional $$$ and saved myself some $$$ by not betting and then having to call a raise. I probably would not have called an all-in but a min-raise would have been hard to fold to. Does anyone disagree with my thinking?

Your play was flawless. That beat sucks but you have to be confident playing like that.

If you folded, knowing he had ace 7, then that would have been the "perfect" way to play it, :lol:
