  2. He was obv betting on the strength of his flush draw!
  3. Just look at all those backdoor opportunities...the flush, backdoor 2 pair and trips draws.

    My favorite part of the hand is his bluff-call...that is priceless. No explanation for that whatsoever...really makes you wonder if he does know what cards are coming if he can make this call basically drawing dead.
  4. Glad somebody posted this hand. Dont like posting my bad beats because i certainly hand out my fair share of them. But this one certainly was difficult for me to understand lol. These are the types of hands that make you think poker is a cruel and unforgiving game. This tilted me up for about half an hour lol. I settled down and ended up hitting a few cashes. Alls I can say is heck of a call after that flop def some good instincts there.
