i dont think theres a bad swing but i think theres a bad train and im on it lmao. Honestly most of it is in your head..you never really remember your great wins and your winning hands but those damn losing hands stick in your mind heart and cause turmoil in your soul forever. Honestly evaluate your play, even poker pros havent picked up everything their is to know about the game although the brat thinks he has lmao. People are going to hit gutshots flush you out on the river when they didnt have odds stop playing your rockets and cowboys like their unbeatable. Are you playing within your bankroll? You want to sit in with the full amount everytime so you can play without being afraid of losing. I've had what i felt to be some bad runs but then realized i need to ajust my game and even the pros lose and yes they have bad beats, its all part of the game. GL at the tables!!!

This was clearly not a "lock" on the low, because you lost. Lock means 100% to win. And it hardly matters that this time, the other hands weren't that good to begin with. That's results oriented.

I'm not criticizing your play, I just think you may have overreacted to glworden's post. I'm sure he didn't mean to offend. :)

Last thing, there is never a lock on anything except for quads high. But with 1 draw to go, and only 3 outs to screw you, it is reasonable to raise. If you get get screwed so be it. Sometimes the unthinkable happens.

Apology

I apologize to all that I redirected this thread towards an analysis of Divebitch's hand. I simply misunderstood what the joke was and thought she was joking about the strength of her hand. I'm a lousy Omaha player, so what do I know.

I also apologize to Divebitch for offending her in any way. Sometimes things don't come across well on the internet. There was absolutely no offensive intent, but since my words had that effect and I'm responsible for my words, I clearly made a mistake in posting as I did.

Even then . . .

I lost with quad aces once to a straight flush. That happens to. And even a straight flush can lose to the royal. Just sayin';) ;)

The odds of this happening if you are getting your money in ahead about half the time is exceedingly low.

However, I think the odds that you are going in way behind or a bit behind far more often than you realize are very high.

Unfortunately not, I play Heads-up SnGs which often ends up as two decent but not great cards versus two decent but not great cards when the blinds get prohibitive, so it pretty much evens out.

And findus, remind me not to play at your table:

Heads-up SnGs ;)
