Chasing the river in the short run can be quite profitable, but, in the long run, the chaser will always end up losing...
But all in all, your right.. 'its poker', and bad beats are a part of the game... one must take them along with the good and continue on... there should never be any reason to name call in poker... barring playing with hellmuth ofcourse..  |
That is an excellent point. I don't mind losing on the river, but if someone is moving in on me with 9-4 and then hitting 2 pair on the river to beat my pocket queens that will get to me really quick.
The river card is not the problem here, it's the player that is the problem. If they move all in with a quality hand and beat me, that is all well and good, but if they are moving in with cards that I wouldn't use in a game of crazy 8's, that's a different story.
