Table was short-handed just 3 players, and I figured if I was going to lose, well, heck, better to go out in a blaze of glory than with a whimper and sniff.
Was just about to pack it in, had finally broken + a bit when I look and see AA on my screen. Well the first player pushes, I push harder, 3rd player calls, it's back around, more pushing a round, and then finally the first player went All-In, well I was 1/2 terrified and 1/2 thrilled. I know there's no such thing as a sure thing, but AA is still, just so attractive...
So I'm not about to let him push me off of aces. I had them earlier and table folded to me. No-no-no, I've indicated strength, as has he. So I contemplate figure yeah, better to die fighting than just get bullied and treated like crap, plus there were a zillion other things going on in my head too. For instance, the "players" who push all-in with A+ anything or any old pair...
I called. Yeah, then the 3rd player folded and the board came up empty for both of us. I see his cards are QQ. He sees mine are AA. Then proceeds to cuss me out and call me a stupid **** for calling with AA.
I ran it through a calculator. AA vs QQ is about 82% to win is it not?
Would tell u how much I won but that would only go to show how incredibly frustrated/stupid I got along the way...
Here's my question: Was it really stupid of me to call? Was he just being a poor sport? Was it both?
Sorry, it's just, when I see I've been beaten by a better hand or coin-flip, I don't get angry. I'm actually relieved. There was no suckage. No "bad" cards, so what gives?
