A disappointing beat...

By lukaluka05 - Dec 18 2008, 11:15 PM

 11 left in FTP PLO Rebuy - An aggresive guy makes PSB UTG 5 handed and I make PSB with AA67hh. He calls, flop is K,10,5 and he shoves and I call, he tables KJ78 and rivers me for 111K pot and 2nd place in chips. Now, he should fold that preflop, he is calling a PSB OOP with a weak hand and doesn't even have a PSB on the flop. So he played it poorly. He was 64% to lose pre, same on flop, 80% on turn. I mean, I'm not complaining because of the suckout I'm just saying the it's a poor strategy on his part.  Yesterday in same tourn I had a brutal suckout (two outer AI on flop) for 3rd chip stack. So, playing well in this tourn but losing big hands at the wrong time.

2nd place in UB PLO Rebuy today. I could have played slower against this guy but I make PSB on button with AQJ2ss and repops, I reraise and he calls with AK47. Board bricked out. My hand is strong pre but I didn't really need to race this guy because he would pay me off so many times going to showdown I could have just chipped him down. Next time I will.

FTP PLO 33 Rebuy - I'm playing this one and I limp UTG with AQJ6ss and get multiple limpers and button makes PSB. Now button is always doing this, he has raise stats you wouldn't believe, 66% over 80 hand sample. I feel I'm way ahead of his range and I make PSB to iso and he reraise, I call and see KQ54doulbe suit. He wins. He actually was racing vs me. 50/50. I definitely didn't need to race but I thought, he may fold, and I most likely have best hand anyway. I don't know. Maybe was too aggresive and I was done playing. Hard to say. Otherwise, poker disappointment all around. Although I'm playing pretty well, here is A BIG mistake by me.

PS NOHL Rebuy - I have juicy stack and AQ92 with A of diamond and flop is K,9,8 all diamonds, guy makes decent bet at it. Now I know I he can't have nuts and if he calls I'm in trouble needing runners for hi or lo. But we both have big stacks and I have him covered easily so I shove figuring he would fold a non nut flush and hopefully trips as well. Well he called with flush. I eventually get to money bubble which I love. My big mistake was trying to bluff a guy who can't fold. I had seem him get way out of line earlier with a hand he had no business calling AIPF with 2 people in. Knowing that I should realize he won't fold a flush there, just won't. You can't bluff calling stations. So my mistake. Anyway, no poker tomorrow. Gl all who play
