Sorry for confusing you guys......and I REALLY appreciate your feedback on this.......the blinds were 800 /1600.
I DID call him and as a few of you correctly pointed out he DID have a genuine hand in Q-Q.
The turn was the
but the river came down as
tc
....to complete my straight, and giving me a massive 30k+ in chips, which I then turned into first place to win the seat.
What REALLY got to me was that he then went on the Forum and slagged me off like you wouldn"t believe. Why can"t people just accept that sometimes you are going to get outdrawn >??
I can appreciate the reasoning in that I maybe shouldn"t have been in the hand at all, but sometimes NOT trying to steal the blinds can also paint a confusing picture ?
I thought he was raising me pre-flop just to get me out of the hand and say "If you don"t raise, I will !!"
But I read his small raise as weak, hence my call. If I miss the flop I can then fold if he bets out. But once I hit that flop, with 12 outs, I just didn"t see how I could possibly bin them, the reasoning being that if I do win, I virtually have the seat in the bag. Ironically, I later folded A-K twice and Q-Q....ALL pre-flop !!
His comments on the board were along those lines of I shouldn"t be in the hand....but a few also reasoned that his raise was crap ! He didn"t agree as he was such a classy player !
His comment of "I ain"t gonna go now as if I see this player I will lump him one !" didn"t reek of class to me !!
Again, thanx for your feedback guys.
BOING BOING !!
