Why I suck at 2/4 Stud ...

would've been up $86 in a session if that one hadn't hit me right at the end

On fifth street, vs. the two hands who stayed in to the river: 86.4% vs. 6% vs. 7.5% (guy who made the flush)

Oh and then they both catch spade flush draws, giving them each 4 outs on the river ... but still only four outs and with the horse race cocept I'm still: 72.6% to win vs. 12.6% and 14.8%

In stud, if you are a 70% favorite or above, you jam the f*ck out of the pot because it doesn't happen that often. To be 86% ahead of TWO opponents and then 73% even when they catch draws ... that is insanely good odds for stud.

Oh and then they both make their flushes on the river, but somehow one guy (also a total donk) folds his.

Yes, I know villain had QQ on 4th street ... but there was 10% chance or so of him actually having the trips.
