And you should have folded on the river when your full house obviously became counterfeited.

Not sure why ppl just like to troll or be unhelpful.

They say act if the cards were exposed, to see if you played it right. Not sure what the other Vs had (to be outrageous, maybe someone had middle set) but the winner had top-top and a gut draw, so it's a badbeat vs your bottom set but not horrible. You most likely GII good but got unlucky. Hell, I just got 1 outered and then 2 outered later in the same orbit. It $&$# sucks but just gotta move on. GL at the tables.

It’s ok to trust your intuition
You said you just knew you were going to lose, so fold. You really do have to learn to fold strong hands in this game and on to the next.

There are times when I feel I have an edge and don’t want to flip with anyone. This basically turned into a classic flip between JJ and AK

As played, betting the flop was also a mistake. Your intuition has told you you’re probably not ahead, so check.

Many people are comfortable with a flip and you just lost the 50:50 this time, so what. But whenever you’re not sure, you never have to put the money in there. Listen to your gut.

It actually feels better when you realize that you would have won a big pot & didn’t, then it does when you lose your stack.

My rule of bad beats:

1 outter, defo bad beat

2 outter, bad beat but it happens.

3 or greater, routine and standard and not a bad beat. 3 outer comes up all the time when players have the same high card, and that's what makes it routine, the sheer number of times it happens in this game.

1-2 400 max. I bought in for the max. Dealt pocket Jacks in middle position.

Early position who is loose and splashy makes it 10. Player to his immediate left who is a loose calling station calls.

It gets to me and I bump it to $40. One player behind calls. Blinds fold. Both early players call.

4 ways to the flop with $155 in the pot after rake.

Flop comes J Q A rainbow. I just knew I was going to lose here. I'm scared about the straight, But I could fill up to beat a straight. And I figure I can get action from an Ace, two pair, or Pair and straight draw combos. What would be bad if I was up against a straight and Ace Queen.

Checks to me. I bet $50. Late position folds. Early position calls. And the last player to act shoves for $191. I call. And the other players calls for less, I think for $120.

Turn card is an Ace. Hey at least now I can beat a straight, but anyone with an Ace now picked up some outs.

River is another Ace. Three Aces on the board. I just knew I was done before anyone showed. The player who shoved showed Ace King to take down the $700 dollar pot. I lost to a runner 4 of a kind.

To throw salt onto this wound. The casino had a high hand promotion, So they put this guys hand on the screen where I had to see it for the next hour.

don't see how you can get away from this tbh. Folding full houses, are you in that market?? I'm not. Could have offered to run it twice and your chances of winning the 2nd time are pretty good
