Message: [QUOTE="IntenseHeat, post: 5724149, member: 92488"] For me it's the combination of the runouts that defy the odds and bail bad players out of tight spots and the logic that leads those players to be in those spots in the first place. An example would be a pot that has been raised, 3-bet and 4-bet to 25x pre-flop. I started the pot with over 270xBB. Villain 1 had 84x. Villain 2 had 142x. After both villains checked to me on the flop, I bet 50x after flopping top pair and the nut flush draw with Ac-Qc on a As-8c-5c board. First villain re-raised all-in to 59x. Villain 2 flat calls. I flat call. I put Villain 2 all in after a Qs falls on the turn, giving me top two pair and the nut flush draw. Villain 2 calls and the cards are turned over. I show my Ac-Qc. Villain 1 shows Ah-9c. Villain 2 turns over 3h-3d. Now, I thought Villain 1 had gotten a bit carried away, 4-betting to 25x with A-9 off. He had been the initial raiser, making it 3x. Villain 2 had flatted behind him, before I 3-bet it to 10x. Of course Villain 2 and I had both flat called behind Villain 1's 4-bet. I can't blame Villain 1 for getting his chips in with top pair on the flop after making it 25x pre. But I couldn't for the life of me, understand what the hell Villain 2 was thinking. Maybe I could see her making the pre-flop call in hopes of getting lucky, flopping a set and winning a big pot. Most people play flop it or drop it with those small pairs. So I would have expected Villain 2 to fold and save the 117xbb she still had after seeing the ace on the flop. But I will never know how she makes the call on the turn, when every card that has hit the board is an over card to her threes and any player connecting in any way with that board would obviously have her beat. But she made it, and I'm sure I don't have to tell anyone that a third three fell on the river. Back then I used to be a little more chatty at tables. This girl happened to be extremely chatty. So I paid her a couple of compliments on well she had played that hand. She told me that she understood sarcasm. I told her that since she probably knew how I really felt, there was no need for me to say any more. A few hands later, when I won a decent pot after setting a trap for my opponent, another player had NHed me in the chat box. I had responded with my standard "preciate it" to the first NH, when she NHed me as well. I responded to her NH with "how would you know?". [/QUOTE]
