pokerstars new 5-card game.....just had to share this hand with you all.

Currently feel I am playing badly (and think I am running badly also)

How bout this one......

we are 3-handed at the Final Table and the upcard is  Qc

I raise with  As  Qd   9c   7c   Qh  and get called.....flop pans out with  4h   10h

He bets, I raise, he shoves and I call........ he shows  5c   Qs   10d   8s   2s  for flopped 2-pair but no flush draw.....turn comes  6d  and river  3h

so am I really running bad?

(By the way I came back and won the tourney  ;D  )

I take it this isn"t really a Q., just a bad beat ventilation thread.

However do love the game, trying to figure it out myself at the mo. Not sure how important the upcard is, if you are around at DTD today, we can have a meeting of minds on it if you want.

Surely the upcard is massively important given that we see 20% of the board before we commit any chips

Playing this now of Stars for the 1st time (maybe H / L NL wasn"t the best place to start  :P but I"m currently 22/123/473 ;) ) and it"s mental.

FWIW I totally agree with Steve; I think the upcard is the key... having said that it"s hard to find hands that DON"T have some appeal.

I just played a hand where on the river any Heart or Ten Gives me the nut high and any 4-5-6 or 8 gives me the nut low..... obv I missed the world  :D
