Why does this have to happen to me?

Picture this ak goes allin on the flop /w 50ishx bb, villain calls with a4 with absolutely no draws whatsover on a k92 board, and hits runner runner 4's to put you on the bubble.

Yes, I'm raging but wtf happened there?

Re: Why does this have to happen to me?

It's the most illogical play I've ever seen in all my poker life. Impossible to keep my head cool after that. Even more riduculous when considering someone was allin before him with kq.

I swear bad players have a sixth sense.

THAT is the most illogical play? I see at least just as bad nearly every time I play.

He apparently doesn't know what that means.

It means he busted out as the last player before making the money.

Re: Why does this have to happen to me?

We were on the bubble, the player was somewhere near 20/60 position. And he just risked all his chips on the flop with ace high on very improbable odds, you see that everyday? It's not like I was playing a 10 cent tourny either otherwise I wouldn't argue with that.

What can anyone tell you? Guy got it in horribly, which is exactly what you want, and had an extreme longshot hand come through for a suckout win. The vasy majority of the time you stack his chips, but not 100% of the time.

I play live limit mostly 8-16 some 20-40 and if you want to talk 'illogical' give those games a try. You'll see 'illogical', and plenty of it.

There was a guy the other day who couldn't stop complaining to me about the beat he took: 'HE HAD NO HAND AND NO DRAW ON THE FLOP! HOW COULD HE CALL?' Me: He obv had a draw or he wouldn't be stacking the chips.

Every day I play, in every way, I see it all.

I understand your feeling, we all do but that's poker. You just gotta accept that sometimes the fish will get lucky.

Poor you. You deserved to win that hand, and it was wrong of the other player to cheat you out of your hard earned money by giving you a +EV opportunity. Hopefully in the future they only call you with the nuts.

I haven't hit the board with AK in the last six months, so why are you raging when it happens once?
