biggest pot of my life

and i lost it


went to another city to play 2-2 NL cash in the casino.


sat down with the max of €200.

been going real good, worked my way up to about €330.

me: ~€330
SB: ~€280
player to my left: ~€300


i get Ah As UTG+1, i raise to €8, guy to my left who had been playing quite loosely wants to re-raise me but puts in too few chips and is forced to call. (my plan was to just push all-in if i'd get re-raised with AA, but that couldnt happen because of this.) SB also calls.

pot: ~€26

flop: Ts 5c 4c

SB checks. i bet €20. player to my left raises to €50. SB folds.

i had seen him raise a few times before on a draw, plus the fact he wanted to RE-raise me pre-flop could mean he had KK/QQ/JJ. so i pushed all-in, getting called by all those other over pairs which i possibly put him on, and make all draws he could have pay the maximum for it.

so the pot was now 26 + 50 + 50 + the remaining €225 i put him all-in for.

so pot is roughly €350.

its €225 for him to call.

he says "I havent hit anything yet..... i need a 3 or an 8. should i do something crazy? should i do something crazy?" and continues to shove in his €225 and flips over 7d 6h.

turn: 8c....... river Ac..


so basically he had about €58 in the pot and called off €225 more on a 7 high with 8 outs

nearly €600 pot gets shoved over to him...... i wanted to choke him out. of course i was quite pleased he made such a Horrible Horrible call. but that was pretty damn rough.



just venting...... Spade Heart Diamond Club

That is tough. I feel for you, there. Anybody would have been happy to be in your shoes, but you get unlucky sometimes, and there's no accounting for that.

Which casino is this? I'd love to play this guy.. Atrocious players with a death wish, what more can one wish for?
