I know the poker community is already tired hearing about bad beat stories. But it makes me wonder how I am gonna avoid it. I've said to myself that I will not feel bad as long as I know that I did the right thing. But sometimes, I can't help but feel bad.
I don't know what's worse a player who knows it's stupid to call but does for the heck of it? Or a newbie who thinks that hitting the 2nd pair on board with the a terrible kicker is good enough to call a tremendous raise?
I know those types can very lucrative to people in the know. But there are times when luck is on their side.
For example:
Blinds: 4/8
UTG raises to 80
I called
another guy calls
Flop comes: Jx, 7x, brick (rainbow)
UTG checks
I raise 80
Guy calls
UTG folds with A, K off
Turn: brick
Having the top pair and raising tremendously that makes it obvious that I already have the Jacks with kicker Ace, moves all-in.
The guy calls holding 5-7
I am so confused why he called.
Then comes the River: 5
Giving him two pairs 5s and 7s with kicker Jack against my pair Jack kicker Ace.
DANG!
Jazminator clasps her hands together, looks up and utters,
"Dear Poker Gods, I am sorry for the times I gave bad beats to a poker player when I was a newbie. I am now a mature poker-loving individual. Please keep me away from the danger of a bad beat and make me win... to play more poker. Amen."
