 know your outs....
was in a buyin..so we are not talking freeroll...
I have big slick in the BB we are down to 23 players.... I am in 2nd chip postion with roughly 20 k in chips the blinds aer 200/400
player in early position calls the BB ....small blind calls and I raise the bet 1000
chips ....both call and we see the flop
flop is 3 3 5
UTG raises 1k in chips I reraise 3k in chips ....he goes all with his remaining
7 k in chips....I call his all in at this point I am somewhat pot committed
he turns over 7 9....he has nothing ....
turn is a 4 and yep you guess it a 6 for a str8
I typed in "wow unbelievable...a donk bet in a buyin"
and yes I know I should have just kept my mouth shut...
but he comes back with " I think your the donk ...you called my raise and you have nothing ....(which is true I had big slick)
he further goes on to state he had more outs.....excuse me more outs
before I could respond another player types in lol....you had a 6 outs or the possibility of a miracle str8 of which you got other wise hayden could win with all the other cards in the deck...
he types back ...well I won so I guess he is the donk...
at this point I just shut up and played my cards....
2 hands later he hits another all with a gutshot str8 and takes out 2 players.
finally I wait patiently and get aces and he with his new found expertise in poker goes all in holding 10's and I call and hit a ace on the flop and he is crippled. He voices I got lucky ....yes getting aces is lucky ....and flopping a 3rd. However I proved play a solid game and more often then not you can beat a donk at thier own game. I think too much of the suckouts and badbeats on TV have made players even dumber on how they play and the expected outcomes they hope to see...and normally this type of play is a godesend when you play good hands but there are times when the morons can ruin good poker for many a player such as the folks he took out of the tourny.  |
