Hi guys
Dont normally have a moan but need to get the stress of my chest after what just happened! lol Down to the final 20 in tonights Primo, sitting 10th in chips. Get AA and re-raise it big. One one of the big stacks comes with me and we end up heads up. Over we go. He had 3 6 off suit!!!
....on to the flop and it hits 3 6 straight away. The rest is history!
I can take bad beats but putting 30k of chips in for that is beyond me....or is it just me :-)

Been with Skypoker now for a few months and done OK so far. Had 4 goes at the Primo and 2 cashes 21st tonight and 7th the other week. Won one of the Vegas 1/4's the other week too...but sadly not far enough to mix it tonight. Really enjoy the site and the forum (although I've previously been just a reader of it). Look forward to learning a few things to tweak my game and perhaps meet a few of you guys in Coventry soon. (my hometown).

Hi Swordy, well done on a nice cash.
But let's look at this. When you have Aces & you get called by 3-6, surely that's a good thing?
Imagine the cards are face up, you have Aces, & he has 3-6. Someone says "do you want 3-6 man to Call?". What would be your answer?
I'm assuming, that as you are an 84% favourite, you would say "ooh, yes PLEASE!". And so, as you win that coup 84 times out of 100, you really have to stoically accept that he will hit his hand the other 16 times. We can't have our cake AND eat it, & if 3-6 man wants to call me, I'll take the 16% rough with the 84% smooth.
Bizarrely, nobody ever chirps when their Aces hold up against 3-6 man!
Tikay, I'm playing in the Freeroll at Luton today at 3pm, Top 3 get tickets to the £150 jobby in the evening...what would your advice be in the Freeroll because it's only a 2k starting stack...? I would PM you but I know your probably clogged up so you wouldn't see this in time.
Good Luck!

And 2 cashes from 4 in Primo is pretty tidy, too, well done you.
As to that "beat", it's as you say, a poker player has to learn to take these on the chin, move on. It is a luck-based game - thank goodness - so everybody, from a Grade 1 player to a Grade 10 player - has a chance of winning, & that's what keeps the poker economy ticking over. Nobody wins much, but the better players learn to dodge bullets, exploit little edges here & there, & most of all, don't get fixated & hung up when they get turned over by a 16% dog.
I'm self-confessed old-skool, but I learned early on that I want to play bad players. Sure, it's fun to play better players, but they, err, play better, & are tougher to beat. So I'll take my chance with the 84-16 shots, because over time, the maths never lie. And losing 16 times to win 84 times seems pretty good odds to me.
Anyway, I'm waffling here. Good Luck on Sunday, Sir.
PS - Well done on busting me in 49th place in tonight's Main Event, too. I could have SWORN I had A-A, but it appeared upon closer inspection - & after you called with Tens - to be 4-4. I blame the software.
Get it won now fella.
Im not a bad darts player. Can mix it with the best of the them when on form...it just doesnt happen often enough for me!
Apologies for knocking you out the open tonight tonight too...especially so near the cash ;-)
Joking aside though a pleasure chatting and hope to pit my wits against you again soon!
