Just unlucky I'd say.

The "under-house" is always vulnerable, & if we meet resistance when betting it's almost certain they have trips so it's lap of the God's stuff after that.

We can't ever fold it though, just one of those brutal ones.

You missed a bet on the flop, & I get why, but for me we want to get as much money in the middle as possible in these spots, as most of the time our hand holds.

Of course it was bad luck but without knowing you have pocket 5s he/she could assume that they had a10/46 (3.6/1) chance of improving to quads/full house on the river. But what do I know? I will never learn not to slow play pocket Aces. That tactic got me booted out of another tournament this afternoon. Stay safe everyone.

@azahuerk

Welcome to the Forum, hope you hang with us.

Just MTT's you play, or do you mix it up?

Thanks for the welcome. I mainly play MTTs for small stakes. I've even managed to win a couple of tournaments but not come close recently.
