Message: [QUOTE="N.D., post: 687108, member: 30036"] I was going to call it a bad beat. Instead I'll call it a lesson learned. Some folks can't fold a pair, especially when their cards plus the cards on the board give them what they think is top pair(at that moment)... I had KK and someone had raised with what I was to learn was J/8. So I'm like "WTF, don't u know I have kings?" in my head. I was in much later position(hijack seat if remembering right, tonight was a blur), so I went ahead and re-raised a pot sized amount. Fair enough right? At this point I figure they should know I'm displaying strength and power. Um, nope. And they proceeded to bet their 8 which paired on the flop. They bet their pair and I raised hard but they weren't backing down. I wound up all-in but as best I could figure I'd lose to AA that wouldn't sting, or a set, that wouldn't sting either. But no-o-o their 3rd 8 had to land and give them trips to my poor defenseless two pair. Darnit! So yeah, their was suckage and it hurt like hell. But I decided to watch some more and sure enough, they did it again only to someone else. But I did learn a lesson. I learned that what u guys keep saying is true. I got to learn in just a short time as well. Normally you'd have to wait forever and save up stats but this was one freaky table. Two more times I had overpairs and they held up. On top of that I managed to get a wide variety of winning hands that went as they should, even with people chasing. So yeah, I learned that if I play as I should sooner or later it works out. I just believed it in a blind sort of way before but now I really believe it. Anyway I'll dig through the history in the morning. Sleepy now, but I'll show you. I shoulda been recording it but I can't make the capture software work right. Just glad poker tracker's working for now. Oh yeah and before I forget. I watched while someone tried to bluff Mr. Can't-Fold-A-Pair. They did this after my own incident. So I'm not the only one who has a lot to learn. Oh and wanted to say thanks for telling me it all works out right in the end. I just hope it works out right enough times over long enough periods for me to do my best long term :). Never got this far b4 though so I've got a lot of people to thank. Oops just remembered poker tracker will show backwards sorta replays. Maybe I'll just record that if I can get it to work. Just remember it's 5c/10c so I can't make good plays every time on account of A. I'm not so great and B. Other players are even worse. [/QUOTE]
