It is called "Gambling" for a reason

[shooter5137]

Look, I know we all get a little bent out of shape when others bet or re-raise when they have no stats to go by, but tryin to figure out the "whys" for the things people do is a fools journey. (dont act like you've never called someone because you "felt" the next card would give you your flush)

Vent,..Tell us all how dumb the other guy was for stayin in. (even tho they ended up takin ur cash) Just remember the path you walk when tryin to get into someone elses head. :rolleyes:

[trolsgirl]

Amen! You win some, you lose some!
Your hand is not done til the river card falls and the betting stops!
You cannot CLAIM A POT WAS YOURS til that river card falls.

Suck it up and better luck next time!

Haha just did one like this:

Pocket: 10:heart:8:heart:
Flop: Q:club:J:diamond:K:heart:

Ok Open Ended I like that.

I bet 100 (BB 20); The the one in with me reraised to 300.

I know I was low on cash (had 800) and he probably already had the st8, but what the heck I knew my st8 would come... I called. :dance:

Ok Turn shows a 8:spade: It couldn't have helped him, I guessed... And I wasn't sure he had something at all... Hm... I shall trick him... :devil:

With my last 600 I made my all in (I mean I still have like 8 outs or something... :rolleyes: )

Oh god, he called... Can't be good. River shows a 5:heart: And shy as I were I showed my one par of 8s...

He shows his 9:diamond:10:diamond:!!!!

Outch... And I think to my self... Why didn't I fold when he raised?? :cry:

I guess that is differens between good and bad players huh...

[Al N Smithee]

Statistically they don't hit very often, but if you can play them cheap do so every chance you get. No one will ever put you on it and I see a 727 flop at least once a week. Only a matter of time . . .

[xATWR36x]

I think people are looking at it backwards.

I've basically come to the conclusion that playing poker is just one big long continuous bad beat...

...you just have to wait it out for the occasional good runs.
