You lost the hand because you start counting your chicken before it even hatch when you flop the top set.
Also, you are only playing your C game, never your A game because you are Entertaining your viewer with live streaming.
Lastly, 骄兵必败 it means "An arrogant soldier will never win a battle."

P/S: You will beat 2NL if you put 100% effort in playing poker instead of focusing your attention elsewhere. You are not playing live game whereby you need to trash talk or influence your opponent's decision, you are playing online. You are giving your opponent all the advantage they can have on you.
Nothing personal, please don't be offended.

It's obvious how you lost. What I don't understand is why you were jumping for joy when you saw that he had AKs? That's a flip man, not like AA over 72o, where you would almost be justified in cursing till the cows come home if you lose.

I think I saw the J hit the flop and thought he had no outs to be honest.

...Given that fairly dry flop, it's hard not to be confident when your opponent only has a 1.5% chance to hit runner-runner.


Also, you are only playing your C game, never your A game because you are Entertaining your viewer with live streaming.
...This is stupid. Are you saying, because people are watching him, he can't play his best? What? What about people on live TV playing the WSOP with tons of fans watching and cameras everywhere? I guess they're all playing their C game, too.

...I saw no arrogance here. Being a huge favorite to double with 2 cards to go, at the final table, will get anyone excited.
above.

So would everyone else as 98.5% favorite. Your excitement was well deserved, it just didn't work out in your favor.

It's just extra embarrassing because I did it in front of a lot of people, and the table literally disappeared before I knew what had happened.

Nothing to be embarrassed about. You had a very strong lock on that hand post flop, it's to be excited in those situations at the final table.

Not to mention, you're more enjoyable to watch when you show emotions. Nobody wants to watch a boring player.

Villain had what's called the wheel. It had earthy undertones, a smooth draw, and enough kick to win him the high (and the low).

I thought to win the low that you must use both cards in your hand?

I dunno, I don't really play low games. Just wanted to make the slick Rounders reference :D

LOL then even better response! The Rounders quote went over my head the first time, congrats on being able to finally use it! I'm going to have to re-watch that movie for sure, it's been well over a decade at least. :D



Yup, you lost the same way that happens to me, so often on some of these online sites. Flop a dominating hand, then lose runner runner. He got you when the 4 came on the river completing the A-5 straight for sure. I hate when that happens!

My friend had QQ on a Q55 flop. Runner Runner 55 so A3 wins the pot with Quad 5's. True Story.


dont fold jacks to a re raise and you lose 100% in my case

Jacks historically ****ing bad for me when facing aggression. I need to learn to fold Jacks, and QQ even.

Wow. That's insane. I may have thrown my laptop on that one.

Yea he literally still has nightmares.


I bet! I was at a casino once that unfortunately only had limit games, not even pot limit. I had As10s on the button. It was folded around and I made a raise, small blind folded, big blind called. The flop came 10h -10c-Ad. Opponent raised, so I re-raised and he called. Turn was a 9h. He raised again, so I re-raised again, he called. River 7h. Guess what the dink had? Oh ya... Because I couldn't bet him off he went all the way to the end with 6h8h! Runner runner straight flush to beat the full house I'd flopped. I cashed out and never went back to any casino with only limit games again! I'm still angry at that one.
