The Week of Outdraw after Outdraw



Posted Mon Apr 11, 2005 2:19 am GMT by xDiamond_CutteRx
Three times in the last 9 days... worst outdraws against me ever, and a lack of draws on my part. First night, six flush draws, make none of them (statistically unlikely). Of the four straights I made, I had to split the pot on all of them. Lost a great full house to quads, but not a lot I can do about that. Last hand, I am 95% to win going to the river (Queen and Queen only for the fish across the table). River: BAM! Queen. Oops, too bad.

Second night, hit nothing repeatedly on the flop. Two pair cracked by runner-runner straight. Top pair top kicker cracked by runner-runner flush. Last hand I am about 80% to win, and I get outdrawn. Oh well, that sucks, bound to happen at limit.

Today, playing heads up in a NL game. Dealt pocket deuces, flop is JJJ, I check-raise all-in. I am called by A7. I'm a big favorite to win this hand and take a dominating chip lead. Turn is a 7. Damn.

Eh, everybody goes bad from time to time, but my bankroll is still ok. Just kind of disappointing to get continually outdrawn by long shot hands and lose hands I'm a hige favorite to win continually.
